runtimedocs package¶
Submodules¶
runtimedocs.core module¶
-
runtimedocs.core.runtimedocs(force_enable_runtimedocs=False, verbosity=0, timing_info=True, default_type_parser=<function default_type_parser>, max_stringify=1000, prefix_module_name_to_logger_name=True, custom_logger_name=None, extra_logger_handlers=None, common_types_parsers_dict=ChainMap({}, {"<class 'builtin_function_or_method'>": <function function_parser>, "<class 'function'>": <function function_parser>, "<class 'type'>": <function class_parser>}), custom_types_parsers_dict=None)[source]¶ - runtimedocs decorator helps you understand how your code behaves at runtime.
- It provides detailed information about: - what was the expected signature of a function/class. - what was the actual signature used when calling that function/class at run time. - where was the function/class declared in and called from. - what’s the hostname of the machine running the code. - what are the types, names, values of the input parameters and returned values of that function. - when relevant also add specific information like their : len, signature, inheritance_tree, etc … - what were the positional/key-word arguments at call time. - has the function exited successfully or ran into an exception. - how long it took to run in case of success. - display what was the exception otherwise and raises it back to not side-effect your program.
All these information are saved in a file usually named as follows: module_name.function_name.rundimedocs.log Additionally they can be printed on the terminal if the verbosity level is set to 1. You can easily toggle the runtimedocs decorator off by setting the env variable DISABLE_RUNTIMEDOCS to True.
Parameters: - force_enable_runtimedocs (bool | DEFAULT = False) – In case the environment variable DISABLE_RUNTIMEDOCS is set to True, setting this flag to True allows you to activate the decorator for a specific function/class.
- verbosity (int | DEFAULT = 0) – When set to 0, it means the runtimedocs information won’t be printed on the terminal This allows you to still see your usual printed messages easily. When set to a value > 0, it means rundimedocs will also print on the terminal what its been saved in the runtimedocs log file of the decorated function.
- timing_info (bool | DEFAULT = True) – True, means you want to keep track and log the time at which the decorated function was called
- default_type_parser (function | DEFAULT = runtimedocs.helpers.default_type_parser) – default way to parse the input parameters and returned values. This will take as input for instance one the arguments been passed in to the decorated function and return an OrderDict with keys: type, value. But also len and keys when relevant.
- max_stringify (int | DEFAULT = 1000) – this value is used by the default_type_parser function to chunk the length of the string returned by repr of the arg been parsed. ie: value_of_arg_been_parsed = repr(arg_been_parsed)[:max_stringify]
- prefix_module_name_to_logger_name (bool | DEFAULT = True) – True, means that runtimedocs decorator will save the information for a specific function/class been decorated in a file called: current_module_name.decorated_function_name.rundimedocs.log if False that file is called: decorated_function_name.rundimedocs.log
- custom_logger_name (str | DEFAULT = None) – if a string is specified, this will be the name of the logger and runtimedocs will save information in a file called: custom_logger_name.runtimedocs.log no matter what’s the value of prefix_module_name_to_logger_name
- extra_logger_handlers (list | DEFAULT = None) – runtimedocs decorator uses the builting logging module to create log information. So this argument allows you to specify additional [file]handlers to where to save the runtime information being extracted. This could be useful for example to centralized all the logged info in a single file or group of files since by default every function in every module has its own log file. Note that, this allows you to add additional handlers, not overrides the default one. Also each handler of the list could be a string or a custom instance of logging.FileHandler()
- common_types_parsers_dict (dict | DEFAULT = helpers.common_types_parsers_dict) – this parameter allows you to bypass the default_type_parser for certain specific builtin python types it is a dictionary with keys representing the type as str and the parsing functions as values. If the runtimedocs_types_parsers plugin is installed then additional parsers for third-parties types are available and will bypass the default_type_parser. For instance if the plugin is installed, new parsers are avalaible for numpy, scipy, pandas enabling runtimedocs to print even more relevant information like: shape, dim, mean, std, etc …
- custom_types_parsers_dict (dict | DEFAULT = None) – similarly to common_types_parsers_dict but for your own custom types. For instance if your program makes uses of a objects from a class you want to parse in a given way then do: custom_types_parsers_dict = {“<class ‘MyClassName’>” : my_class_parser_func } where my_class_parser_func returns an OrderDict with keys like: type, value, my_size, etc… Another use of it, is if you want to parse nested lists, the default_type_parser can do that but by overriding the parsing function for the type: “<class’list’>” you have more control on how you want to parse the nested lists.
Returns: wrapper – the decorated function/class.
Return type: function
runtimedocs.helpers module¶
-
runtimedocs.helpers.caller_name(skip=2)[source]¶ Get a name of a caller in the format module.class.method
skip specifies how many levels of stack to skip while getting caller name. skip=1 means “who calls me”, skip=2 “who calls my caller” etc.
An empty string is returned if skipped levels exceed stack height

-
runtimedocs.helpers.class_parser(arg)[source]¶ type parser for user defined and builtin classes. :Parameters: arg (class to parse)
Returns: parsed Return type: OrderedDict(‘value’, ‘signature’, ‘fullargspec’, ‘isbuiltin’, ‘inheritance_tree)
-
runtimedocs.helpers.default_type_parser(arg, max_stringify=1000)[source]¶ default type parser which basically return the repr string of the object.
Parameters: - arg (object to parse)
- max_stringify (how long at max should be the returned string after doing repr(arg))
Returns: parsed – value: is repr(arg)[:max_stringify] keys: is the the keys in the parsed object and only added to parsed if the object is a dict len: is the the length of the parsed object and only added to parsed if the object is an iterable
Return type: OrderedDict(‘value’, [‘keys’], [‘len’])
