Method Details [hide private]

__init__(self, **kwargs)
(Constructor)

source code 
call graph 

Construct a new APIDoc object. Keyword arguments may be used to initialize the new APIDoc's attributes.

Raises:
  • TypeError - If a keyword argument is specified that does not correspond to a valid attribute for this (sub)class of APIDoc.
Overrides: APIDoc.__init__
(inherited documentation)

is_detailed(self)

source code 
call graph 

Does this object deserve a box with extra details?

Returns: bool
True if the object needs extra details, else False.
Overrides: APIDoc.is_detailed
(inherited documentation)

apidoc_links(self, **filters)

source code 
call graph 

Return a list of all APIDocs that are directly linked from this APIDoc (i.e., are contained or pointed to by one or more of this APIDoc's attributes.)

Keyword argument filters can be used to selectively exclude certain categories of attribute value. For example, using includes=False will exclude variables that were imported from other modules; and subclasses=False will exclude subclasses. The filter categories currently supported by epydoc are:

  • imports: Imported variables.
  • packages: Containing packages for modules.
  • submodules: Contained submodules for packages.
  • bases: Bases for classes.
  • subclasses: Subclasses for classes.
  • variables: All variables.
  • private: Private variables.
  • overrides: Points from class variables to the variables they override. This filter is False by default.
Overrides: APIDoc.apidoc_links
(inherited documentation)

init_sorted_variables(self)

source code 
call graph 

Initialize the sorted_variables attribute, based on the variables and sort_spec attributes. This should usually be called after all variables have been added to variables (including any inherited variables for classes).

_init_grouping(self, elts)

source code 
call graph 

Divide a given a list of APIDoc objects into groups, as specified by self.group_specs.

Parameters:
  • elts - A list of tuples (name, apidoc).
Returns:
A list of tuples (groupname, elts), where groupname is the name of a group and elts is a list of APIDocs in that group. The first tuple has name '', and is used for ungrouped elements. The remaining tuples are listed in the order that they appear in self.group_specs. Within each tuple, the elements are listed in the order that they appear in api_docs.

Instance Variable Details [hide private]

variables

The contents of the namespace, encoded as a dictionary mapping from identifiers to VariableDocs. This dictionary contains all names defined by the namespace, including imported variables, aliased variables, and variables inherited from base classes (once inherit_docs() has added them).
Type:
dict from string to VariableDoc
Value:
_Sentinel('UNKNOWN')

sorted_variables

A list of all variables defined by this namespace, in sorted order. The elements of this list should exactly match the values of variables. The sort order for this list is defined as follows:
  • Any variables listed in a @sort docstring field are listed in the order given by that field.
  • These are followed by any variables that were found while parsing the source code, in the order in which they were defined in the source file.
  • Finally, any remaining variables are listed in alphabetical order.
Type:
list of VariableDoc
Value:
_Sentinel('UNKNOWN')

sort_spec

The order in which variables should be listed, encoded as a list of names. Any variables whose names are not included in this list should be listed alphabetically, following the variables that are included.
Type:
list of str
Value:
_Sentinel('UNKNOWN')

group_specs

The groups that are defined by this namespace's docstrings. group_specs is encoded as an ordered list of tuples (group_name, elt_names), where group_name is the

name of a group and elt_names is a list of element names in that group. (An element can be a variable or a submodule.) A '*' in an element name will match any string of characters.

Type:
list of (str,list)
Value:
_Sentinel('UNKNOWN')

variable_groups

A dictionary specifying what group each variable belongs to. The keys of the dictionary are group names, and the values are lists of VariableDocs. The order that groups should be listed in should be taken from group_specs.
Type:
dict from str to list of VariableDoc
Value:
_Sentinel('UNKNOWN')
