It provides a way to define reusable docstring components once and reference them throughout your codebase, reducing maintenance burden and keeping documentation consistent.\n\nThe package works by letting you store docstring snippets (parameter descriptions, return value docs, etc.) in a central registry and then inject them into function or method docstrings at documentation-generation time. It integrates with reStructuredText and supports numpy and napoleon docstring conventions. However, the package has not been maintained since 2021-02-16, and its compatibility with modern Python versions and current documentation tooling is uncertain.","worth_installing":"No. The package is abandoned (last release 2021-02-16) and targets Python versions up to 3.9, with no verification of compatibility with modern Python or current documentation tools. High install friction combined with maintenance risk makes it unsuitable for new projects. Consider actively maintained alternatives if you need docstring deduplication."},"id":"docrep","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/docrep","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/docrep.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/docrep/"},"maintenance":{"status":"abandoned"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2021-02-16","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"docrep","python_support":"unspecified","summary":"Python package for docstring repetition"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":98613,"position":13071,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"0.3.2"}
