Hello,
I would like to notify the community about the availability of new
python-dbc module, allowing one to perform basic design-by-contract
checks using the docstring definitions in epydoc format. No public
releases has been done yet, but the home page with overall instructions
is created at http://python-dbc.googlecode.com/ and the code is
available at https://python-dbc.googlecode.com/hg/ (this is a Mercurial
repository, use hg clone).
At the moment, the primary functionality available is the validation of
@precondition/@postcondition/@type/@rtype docstring fields in every
function wrapped using @contract_epydoc decorator. The code is early,
lacks a proper amount of unit tests and documentation, and definitely
may have bugs for now, but it is stress-tested at the moment in internal
projects, so far so good. The future plans include allowing to use the
@contract_epydoc decorator to wrap the classes, thus making possible to
add the support of @invariant fields in the class docstrings.
