Pydoc recursive

pydoc recursive

The pydoc recursive command is used to generate documentation from Python modules, classes, and functions in a recursive manner. It allows you to explore and understand the structure and usage of Python components.

When using pydoc recursive, the documentation is displayed in the console or terminal. It provides information about modules, classes, functions, and their individual documentation strings.

To use pydoc recursive, you need to have Python installed on your system. Here’s an example of how to use it:

  $ pydoc recursive your_module_name
  

This command will display the documentation for the specified module and its contents in a recursive manner.

For example, if you have a module called math_functions with the following structure:

  
  math_functions/
    __init__.py
    module1.py
    module2.py
  
  

The command $ pydoc recursive math_functions will display the documentation for math_functions as well as its contents, including module1 and module2.

Using pydoc recursive is a convenient way to explore and understand the documentation of Python modules and their components. It helps to better comprehend their functionality and usage.
