[Python-ideas] Re: Parameter documentation

That could work. I'm not super familiar with typing.Annotated. I was hoping for something a little less though my example doesn't really show that with the way used commas. Thinking about it more, it should be possible for the parser to recognize a comma followed by a comment within a function s

[Python-ideas] Re: Parameter documentation

Or now, thinking more about it, why not simplify it by having a string literal in Annotated just represent its docstring?  def request( method: Annotated[str, "The method to perform"], url: Annotated[str, "The URL to submit request to"], ... ) -> Response: """Constructs and sends a

[Python-ideas] Re: Parameter documentation

Perhaps this would be a good opportunity to start looking at typing.Annotated[...] as a mechanism for parameter documentation? Something like: def request( method: Annotated[str, Doc("The method to perform")], url: Annotated[str, Doc("The URL to submit request to")], ... ) -> Response:

Sorry, I accidentally hit "post message" too soon. The idea is that python would somehow construct a more complete doc-string from the function doc-string and it's signature/parameter doc-strings. On Friday, January 29, 2021 at 2:29:51 PM UTC-6 abed...@gmail.com wrote: > Currently, python allow

[Python-ideas] Parameter documentation

Currently, python allows variable documentation via PEP 526 . For most functions with short parameter lists that can fit in a reasonable column limit, I prefer the traditional declaration style with Google-style doc strings: *def connect_to_next_port(s

[Python-ideas] Re: List .index() Method

index is meant to return the index of the first match it finds in the list from the beginning, it's most simpless implementation is: ``` for i, v in enumerate(self): if v == value: return i throw ValueError(f"Value '{value}' is not in list") if you want the negative index, just

[Python-ideas] List .index() Method

Hello, I'm Francis, a beginner programmer from Ghana, West Africa. I was wondering why the list .index() method doesn't return negative indices as well as well as positive indices. Although ambiguity will make it difficult to implement, in certain cases, it would be useful if it could return the ne
