pyquickhelper.helpgen.utils_sphinx_doc_helpers.compute_truncated_documentation(doc, length=120, raise_exception=False)

Produces a truncated version of a docstring.

Parameters

• doc – doc string

• length – approximated length of the truncated docstring

• raise_exception – raises an exception when the result is empty and the input is not

Returns

truncated doc string

pyquickhelper.helpgen.utils_sphinx_doc_helpers.example_function_latex()

This function only contains an example with latex to check it is working fine.

How to display a formula

We want to check this formula to successfully converted.

Brackets and backslashes might be an issue.

source on GitHub

pyquickhelper.helpgen.utils_sphinx_doc_helpers.fix_image_page_for_root(content, file)

Looks for images and fix their path as if the extract were copied to the root.

Parameters

• content – extracted content

• file – file where is comes from (unused)

Returns

content

source on GitHub

pyquickhelper.helpgen.utils_sphinx_doc_helpers.get_module_objects(mod)

Gets all the classes from a module.

Parameters

mod – module objects

Returns

list of ModuleMemberDoc

source on GitHub

pyquickhelper.helpgen.utils_sphinx_doc_helpers.import_module(rootm, filename, log_function, additional_sys_path=None, first_try=True)

Imports a module using its filename.

Parameters

• rootm – root of the module (for relative import)

• filename – file name of the module

• log_function – logging function

• additional_sys_path – additional path to include to sys.path before importing a module (will be removed afterwards)

• first_try – first call to the function (to avoid infinite loop)

Returns

module object, prefix

Warning

It adds the file path at the first position in sys.path and then deletes it.

Changed in version 1.7: Add parameter first_try.

Changed in version 1.8: Can import compiled modules.

pyquickhelper.helpgen.utils_sphinx_doc_helpers.make_label_index(title, comment)

Builds a sphinx label from a string by removing any odd characters.

Parameters

• title – title

• comment – add this string in the exception when it raises one

Returns

label

source on GitHub

pyquickhelper.helpgen.utils_sphinx_doc_helpers.process_look_for_tag(tag, title, files)

Looks for specific information in all files, collect them into one single page.

Parameters

• tag – tag

• title – title of the page

• files – list of files to look for

Returns

a list of tuple (page, content of the page)

The function is looking for regular expression:

.. tag(...).
...
.. endtag.

They can be split into several pages:

.. tag(page::...).
...
.. endtag.

If the extracted example contains an image (..image:: ../../), the path is fixed too.

The function parses the files instead of loading the files as a module. The function needs to replace \\ by \, it does not takes into acount doc string starting with r'''. The function calls remove_some_indent with backslash=True to replace double backslashes by simple backslashes.

source on GitHub

pyquickhelper.helpgen.utils_sphinx_doc_helpers.process_var_tag(docstring, rst_replace=False, header=None)

Processes a docstring using tag @ var, and return a list of 2-tuple:

@ var    filename        file name
@ var    utf8            decode in utf8?
@ var    errors          decoding in utf8 can raise some errors

Parameters

• docstring – string

• rst_replace – if True, replace the var bloc var a rst bloc

• header – header for the table, if None, ["attribute", "meaning"]

Returns

a matrix with two columns or a string if rst_replace is True

source on GitHub

pyquickhelper.helpgen.utils_sphinx_doc_helpers.remove_some_indent(s, backslash=False)

Brings text to the left.

Parameters

• s – text

• backslash – if True, replace double backslash by simple backslash
