DocFinderTab

This product makes Dieter Maurer’s DocFinder available from a ZMI management tab. Looking inside an object becomes as easy as clicking its “Doc” tab!

DocFinderTab allows you to view an object’s:

  • Class (and base class) names and docstrings.

  • Attribute names, roles, arguments, and docstrings.

DocFinderTab can be of great help when discovering object APIs and debugging security problems.

Egg Installation

Either use easy_install or add Products.DocFinderTab to the eggs section of your buildout.cfg and re-run buildout.

Traditional Product Installation

Copy or symlink the DocFinderTab subdirectory of this package into your Products directory.

Final Steps

Restart Zope. This will add a “Doc” tab to every object’s managment screens (ZMI). Now click the “Doc” tab and start exploring.

See the online help for a detailed explanation of what you can do with DocFinderTab, or read help/README.stx directly.
