New submission from Morten Lied Johansen <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: Currently, running pydoc on a module will show you the documentation on all regular methods, and all special methods (starting and ending in double underscores).
Private methods (starting with a single underscore) are not included. Some times, it would be nice to include docs for these methods aswell, and a small change to pydoc.visiblename solves the problem. I've included a patch that adds this behaviour as an option (-i for include private names). The implementation isn't as clean as one would hope for (sets a global flag), but was the best I could come up with in the short time I had available. Feel free to make a better implementation. The patch is against python 2.5. ---------- components: Library (Lib) files: pydoc.privatenames.patch keywords: patch messages: 68722 nosy: mortenlj severity: normal status: open title: Option in pydoc to show docs from private methods type: feature request versions: Python 2.5 Added file: http://bugs.python.org/file10727/pydoc.privatenames.patch _______________________________________ Python tracker <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <http://bugs.python.org/issue3196> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
