The aim of SimpleRST is to convert manual Python code and documentations to a restructured text frame. It parses the code in order to extract the classes, function signatures and documentation from code, then place them into an RST-formatted frame. You can use a custom regex to extract the specific information from your documentation and put it in an RST document (which depends on your documentation format). Following is a sample documentation and relative regex with an rst formatted doc:
def delUser(self, user_ids, comment, del_connections, del_audit_logs, admin_name):
"""
delete users with ids in user_ids
user_ids(list of int): List of user ids
comment(str): comment when deleting users
del_connection(bool): tells if we should delete user(s)
del_audit_logs(bool): tells if we should delete user(s)
admin_name(str): username of admin that deleted the users
"""Relative regex:
regex = re.compile(r'^\s*([^:]*)\(([^)]*)\):(.*)$',re.DOTALL)
# Extract the matchesd groups
match_obj = regex.match(part)
if match_obj:
name, types, describe = match_obj.group(1, 2, 3)Output in RST format:
"""
.. py:attribute:: delUser(['self', 'user_ids', 'comment', 'del_connections', 'del_audit_logs', 'admin_name', 'remote_address'])

:param user_ids: List of user ids
:type user_ids: list of int
:param comment: comment when deleting users

:type del_connection: bool
:param del_audit_logs: tells if we should delete user(s) audit logs too

:param admin_name: username of admin that deleted the users
:type admin_name: str
:rtype: list of string
