quartodoc ignores imported attributes

[JanPalasek]

Problem

When I only import attributes (and specify them to __all__) in a rendered, quartodoc ignores them and doesn't render its documentation.

# module.py

from othermodule import CONSTANT, NOT_SHOWN_CONSTANT

__all__ = ["CONSTANT"]

# _quarto.yaml
quartodoc:
  ...
  sections:
    - title: Some title
      contents:
        - module

This is a problem because often in packages you have "private part of the package", and you only expose the "public" part via imports like that. For example you have a structure like this:

package/
  subpackage/
    __init__.py  # everything imported in here
    _internal.py 

Solution

Similar to pdoc: what to render can be decided based on contents of __all__. For example NOT_SHOWN_CONSTANT shouldn't be rendered because it is not in __all__.

Hey! Does the include_imports option work?

# _quarto.yaml
quartodoc:
  ...
  sections:
    - title: Some title
      contents:
        - name: module
          include_imports: true

I think that should tell it to include objects imported into the module. This is analogous to sphinx's import-members option.

Sorry for the confusion. I think it's there so packages that document per module don't accidentally document functions multiple times, but I can see how it's frustrating to debug :/. (In the same vein, classes don't document inherited members by default).

If you want, you can set the option everywhere.

@machow Thanks for the quick response. I didn't find it in the documentation. I believe it will work, I will close the issue tomorrow when I get to try it.

Does it automatically ignore third-party imports? What if I used it on module like this:

# package/module.py
from sklearn.pipeline import Pipeline
from my_package.other_module import CONSTANT

__all__ = ["CONSTANT"]

@machow I'm afraid it doesn't work.

I have a rather complex and private case, so I'll try to simplify it for reproducibility.

# package/module.py
import asyncio

# _quarto.yaml
quartodoc:
  package: package
  ...
  sections:
    - title: Some modules
      contents:
        - name: module
          include_imports: true

It raises error:

Currently it ignores third party imports, and all non-external functions in the module can be members. (The net effect is that I think your example should do what you want).

I added a fix to PR #300, which uses __all__ to get the members for modules. Will release in the next hour or so!

edit: released https://github.com/machow/quartodoc/releases/tag/v0.6.5

[machow]

It seems like this should be fixed in the current version. I tested using this code:

from quartodoc import Auto, blueprint, MdRenderer, preview
bp = blueprint(Auto(name = "quartodoc.tests.example_alias_target__nested", include_imports = True))

# note that the tabulate function, which was imported into the module
# gets rendered in the API doc page for the module
print(MdRenderer().render(bp))

Definitely let me know if it's still an issue, and I can dig into it more.
