Hi Dimitriy, Just a suggestion, even though you mentioned you were a newbie to python ...

I'm writing a script for retrieving comments from Delphi code and preparing documentation. Something like javadoc utility. I'm a newbie in Python and I'd like to see the way such tasks are usually done. I have never worked with Delphi so I do not know if it provides doc-string like features through the language itself. However, the way that I would go about seeing "...the way such tasks are usually done." would be by looking at the source code of similar tools whenever possible. Although, you might already know this, since you didn't mention it, I'd like to point out that python has an equivalent of javadoc called pydoc(*). You can examine the code of the modules 'pydoc' and 'inspect' to see how things are done for python.

Just my 2 cents ... HTH Regards Steve

(*) run </path/to/your/python/installation/>/pydoc.py pydoc to see what it does.

Could you please suggest some case-studies or tutorials concerning source code (preferred) or just plain text analyzing with python?

Thanks in advance! Dmitriy. ----------------------------- Don't limit your challenges, Challenge your limits!
