Raw Normal View History

* format docstrings more nicely (with tests) - DONE I guess
* have the API function view be as informative as possible
without having to go to the "single method" view
(do we even need a single method view?), for example:
browsing the class views (and clicking on methods)
should always make it obvious which class is being
viewed. method views (when navigating there through
the class view) should also have the source there
DONE I guess (todo: add syntax coloring)
* have class-level attributes be displayed
* use "inherited" doc strings, i.e. for
class A:
def meth(self):
"doc1"
class B(A):
def meth(self):
pass
B.meth should display the A.meth docstring, probably
with special formatting (italics or so).
* factor out some common code in the build_* functions
* refactor the apigen/rsession interaction to become
cleaner (e.g. apigen's get_documentable_items should
be separately tested and the caller should not need
to guess what it will get, i think)
DONE
* look out for and streamline all apigen/source-viewer
documentation into one document
* consider automating dependencies:
e.g. something like: queue_render(page, fspath, linker, ...)
would defer the rendering until later.
then a loop does:
maxlength = len(queue)
while queue:
page, fspath, linker, ... = queue.get()
# fill outputpath/link here or even earlier
if all_links_resolve(page, linker):
render it and write to filesystem
maxlength = len(queue)
else:
queue.append(...)
maxlength -= 1
if maxlength <= 0:
print "ERROR: seems i can't make progress"
print "unresolved links follow: "
...
print "unresolved pages/fspaths:"
...
XXX maybe: print "filling linker with dummy hrefs, and rendering anyway"
...
raise ...
NOT SURE if this is still required
* also we might have a support function for tests that
fills the linker with "dummy hrefs" for certain types
like source links
KIND OF DONE, the tests now use a linker that just doesn't
barf on non-existing linkids anymore, which seems to be
good enough (we may want to add more sophisticated debugging
later, but for now this works)
* add syntax coloring for Python source snippets
* remove py.test/apigen cruft from stack traces
* fix non-ascii source encoding support
* XXX
