Actually I'm begging for comments, it's the beginning of a project not
the end. So thanks! ;-)
I changed it to:
if type(object)==str:
....
elif type(object) in (str,int,bool,tuple,list,dict):
....
Thanks, I don't need the isinstance(), type works here just as well.
What would it take to make it useful? I'm thinking of putting it to use
in a database where you can get quickly get info by subject and
keywords, not just by module. I'm also thinking of using it to generate
web pages.
As far as the actual content of doc strings for each item, we can submit
requests for improvements where it's needed.
Cheers,
_Ron
