Python documentation

[prolog]

Hi all,

Is there a Python equivalent of, say, Javadoc for Java? I'm playing around with doing some scripting for VS (I know a little Python), and was just wondering what exactly I could do with the VS and other Python modules.

Also, is there anyone on the dev team I could ask Python-related questions? I seem to recall dandandaman being that guy, but I can't remember...

Yup, I'm probably the best for first port of call on python help

There exists a documentation mechanism for python, but it isn't particularly used in our codebase :-/

Some basic doc exists here:

http://vegastrike.sourceforge.net/manua ... x.html#i28

Though that is now incomplete (but most important functions appear in the listing there), partially deprecated (quests still exist, but aren't really used), and sometimes innaccurate (it'd be best to check on the arguments for each function eithe rby looking at an existing module, or at the function itself.

Just give a hoi whenever you need anything

You can use Doxygen for Python. Its syntax is very similar to Javadoc. Unfortunately the current VS code isn't that well documented and what exists is somewhat deprecated.
