[docs]class Substitution: """ A decorator that performs %-substitution on an object's docstring. This decorator should be robust even if ``obj.__doc__`` is None (for example, if -OO was passed to the interpreter). Usage: construct a docstring.Substitution with a sequence or dictionary suitable for performing substitution; then decorate a suitable function with the constructed object, e.g.:: sub_author_name = Substitution(author='Jason') @sub_author_name def some_function(x): "%(author)s wrote this function" # note that some_function.__doc__ is now "Jason wrote this function" One can also use positional arguments:: sub_first_last_names = Substitution('Edgar Allen', 'Poe') @sub_first_last_names def some_function(x): "%s %s wrote the Raven" """ def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs): if args and kwargs: raise TypeError("Only positional or keyword args are allowed") self.params = args or kwargs def __call__(self, func): if func.__doc__: func.__doc__ = inspect.cleandoc(func.__doc__) % self.params return func
