[Tutor] source code processing

[Steve]

Hi Dimitriy,
     Just a suggestion, even though you mentioned you were a newbie to
python ...

      I have never worked with Delphi so I do not know if it provides
doc-string like features through the language itself. However, the way
that I would go about seeing "...the way such tasks are usually done."
would be by looking at the source code of similar tools whenever
possible.
      Although, you might already know this, since you didn't mention
it, I'd like to point out that python has an equivalent of javadoc
called pydoc(*). You can examine the code of the modules 'pydoc' and
'inspect' to see how things are done for python.

Just my 2 cents ...
HTH
Regards
Steve

(*) run </path/to/your/python/installation/>/pydoc.py pydoc to see what it does.
