strip-docs 1.0

A utility to remove all docstrings from your project

strip-docs

A Python utility to remove all docstrings from your modules before shipping

Info-anarchized from this Stack Overflow post

Usage

Just install it via pip

pip install strip-docs

And then launch it on any list of files or directories that you would like to see the docstrings gone, this way:

strip-docs dir1 dir2 file1 file2 ...

All .py, .pyx and .pxd files will be processed.

If you specify a single file, it will be processed

Caveats

Try to avoid writing empty classes or routines like this:

def empty_routine():
    """I am an empty routine"""

Because the syntax itself is not analyzed, this will result in a Python SyntaxError.

Better write this:

def empty_routine():
    """I am an empty routine"""
    ...

So after trimming the docstrings it remains valid Python.
