Maybe this is unsupportable, but I figured it was worth asking. In my library, metadata for function arguments is stored in the docstring, looking something like this:
def a(x=5):
"""
:param x: The x parameter
limits: [0, 5, 10, 15]
"""Under the hood, I can turn this into a configuration using ConfigParser. However, docstring_parser removes all indentation underneath a parameter. This is a problem for me, since ConfigParser requires multiline values to be indented. The below example doesn't work, since all sub-indentation underneath x is obliterated:
def a(x=5):
"""
:param x: The x parameter
limits: [
0, 5, 10, 15
]
"""docstring_parser.parse() turns x's description into:
The x parameter
limits: [
0, 5, 10, 15
]
^^^ Notice the lack of indentation
Is there some way to optionally use textwrap.dedent instead of strip() during the parsing logic for these cases? Thanks for your consideration.
