class PyVariable(PyObject): (source)

View In Hierarchy

Description of a variable.

Method get_index_text Return the text for the index entry of the object.
Method handle_signature Transform a Python signature into RST nodes.
Class Variable option_spec Undocumented

Inherited from PyObject:

Method add_target_and_index Add cross-reference IDs and entries to self.indexnode, if applicable.
Method after_content Handle object de-nesting after content
Method before_content Handle object nesting before content
Method get_signature_prefix May return a prefix to put before the object name in the signature.
Method needs_arglist May return true if an empty argument list is to be generated even if the document contains none.
Class Variable allow_nesting Undocumented
Class Variable doc_field_types Undocumented
Method _object_hierarchy_parts Returns a tuple of strings, one entry for each part of the object's hierarchy (e.g. ``('module', 'submodule', 'Class', 'method')``). The returned tuple is used to properly nest children within parents in the table of contents, and can also be used within the :py:meth:`_toc_entry_name` method.
Method _toc_entry_name Returns the text of the table of contents entry for the object.

Inherited from ObjectDescription (via PyObject):

Method get_field_type_map Undocumented
Method get_signatures Retrieve the signatures to document from the directive arguments. By default, signatures are given as arguments, one per line.
Method run Main directive entry function, called by docutils upon encountering the directive.
Method transform_content Called after creating the content through nested parsing, but before the ``object-description-transform`` event is emitted, and before the info-fields are transformed. Can be used to manipulate the content.

Instance Variable domain Undocumented

Inherited from SphinxDirective (via PyObject, ObjectDescription):

Method get_location Get current location info for logging.
Method get_source_info Get source and line number.
Method set_source_info Set source and line number to the node.
Property config Reference to the :class:`.Config` object.
Property env Reference to the :class:`.BuildEnvironment` object.
def get_index_text(self, modname, name_cls): (source)

Return the text for the index entry of the object.

Parameters
modname:strUndocumented
name_cls:tuple[str, str]Undocumented
Returns
strUndocumented
def handle_signature(self, sig, signode): (source)

Transform a Python signature into RST nodes. Return (fully qualified name of the thing, classname if any). If inside a class, the current class name is handled intelligently: * it is stripped from the displayed name if present * it is added to the full name (return value) if not present

Parameters
sig:strUndocumented
signode:desc_signatureUndocumented
Returns
tuple[str, str]Undocumented
