Extend sphinx to include icontracts.

Project description

sphinx-icontract

Build Status Coverage PyPi PyPI - Python Version

Sphinx-icontract extends Sphinx to include icontracts of classes and functions in the documentation.

Usage

Sphinx-icontract is based on the sphinx.ext.autodoc module. You need to specify both modules in extensions of your Sphinx configuration file (conf.py).

Here is an example excerpt:

# Add any Sphinx extension module names here, as strings. They can be
# extensions coming with Sphinx (named 'sphinx.ext.*') or your custom
# ones.
extensions = [
    'sphinx.ext.autodoc',
    'sphinx_icontract'
]

Implications

Sphinx-icontract tries to infer the implications from the conditions and render them as implication (... ⇒ ...). We implemented a rule-based matching that covers most of the practical use cases:

  • not A or B is translated to A ⇒ B.

  • Expressions are negated, so x < y or B is translated to x >= y ⇒ B. More general expressions are negated with not: from x.y() or B to not x.y() ⇒ B.

  • If-Expressions are translated from B if A else True to A ⇒ B.

We found implications in form of if-expressions to be confusing when read in source code and encourage programmers to use disjunction form instead.

Installation

  • Install sphinx-icontract with pip:

pip3 install sphinx-icontract

Development

  • Check out the repository.

  • In the repository root, create the virtual environment:

python3 -m venv venv3
  • Activate the virtual environment:

source venv3/bin/activate
  • Install the development dependencies:

pip3 install -e .[dev]

We use tox for testing and packaging the distribution:

tox

Pre-commit Checks

We provide a set of pre-commit checks that lint and check code for formatting.

Namely, we use:

  • yapf to check the formatting.

  • The style of the docstrings is checked with pydocstyle.

  • Static type analysis is performed with mypy.

  • Various linter checks are done with pylint.

  • Contracts are linted with pyicontract-lint.

  • Doctests are executed using the Python doctest module.

Run the pre-commit checks locally from an activated virtual environment with development dependencies:

./precommit.py
  • The pre-commit script can also automatically format the code:

./precommit.py  --overwrite

Versioning

We follow Semantic Versioning. The version X.Y.Z indicates:

  • X is the major version (backward-incompatible),

  • Y is the minor version (backward-compatible), and

  • Z is the patch version (backward-compatible bug fix).
