Autodoc tried to scan doccomment on the module where the class defined.
But it failed to get it if the class is imported from other module.
This analyzes the target module to obtain the doccomment.
Autodoc generates reST code that uses raw `:obj:` and `:class:` xrefs to
refer the classes and types. But they're fragile because they assume
the primary_domain=='py'.
This adds `:py:` prefix to these xrefs to make them robust.
When multiple singledispatch decorators are stacked, the first typehints
are copied to the subsequent definitions unexpectedly.
Now autodoc generates a dummy function not to affect typehints to
subsequent functions.
On generating the base class information, unexpected nit-picky warning
for ``typing.Any`` was emitted. This fixes it by using `~` prefix on
generating a cross-reference to make it valid.
This generates `:canonical:` option for `:py:class:` directive if the
target class is imported from other module. It allows users to refer it
using both the new name (imported name) and the original name (canonical
name).
It helps a library that implements some class in private module (like
`_io.StringIO`), and publish it as public module (like `io.StringIO`).
DocumenterBridge.filename_set has been used since its beginning. On the
other hand, in docutils, record_dependencies attribute is well-used to
store the list of dependency files. So this renames it to docutils'
standard attribute.
The type union operator (PEP-604) causes autodoc crashed in python 3.9
or below because of the syntax is not suppoerted yet in the interpreters.
Internally, `typing.get_type_hints()` raises TypeError on evaluating the
annotation by BitOr operator for types.
To avoid the crash, this adds a fallback not to evaluate the annotations
and keep as is. As a side effect, `autodoc_type_aliases` will not work
for the modules and classes that uses type union operator for their
annotations.
As a well-known idiom, mypy recommends to use ellipsis ("...") for
default argument values as a elided style. This allows to write the
style and helps to document it with copying the default argument
values from actual implementation.
Note: This does not copy the default argument value when the argument
of overloaded function has its own default value.
The default values for overloaded functions are rendered as string
literal unexpectedly because autodoc extracts code snippets from
the source code, not actual value (ex. int, ellipsis, and so on).
This introduces a simple wrapper class; `DefaultValue` to render these
code snippets like actual values, not string literals.
autodata and autoattribute directives does not show right-hand value of
the variable if its docstring contains ``:meta hide-value:`` in
info-field-list.
The instance attributes on subclasses are shown on the document of
parent class unexpectedly because of autodoc modifies `__annotations__`
in place. This fix creates a copy of `__annotations__` attribute and
attach it to the subclass.
To avoid filtering __slots__ attributes having docstring at
filter_members(), this passes docstring captured at get_class_members()
to the filter_members() via ObjectMember.
So far, autodoc obtains type annotations of instance attributes by
ModuleAnalyzer directly. As a result, autodoc_type_aliases are ignored
for these variables.
This goes to merge type annotations from the class itself and
ModuleAnalyzer's, and get type annotations using `typing.get_type_hints()`
to apply autodoc_type_aliases.
So far, autoattribute uses "given class name" to fetch comments of
uninitialized instance attributes. But pycode expects to use "real"
class name on searching attribute comments.
This adds UninitializedInstanceAttributeMixin to handle it simply.
