nbdev-stdlib

0.0.2404 verified Fri May 01 auth: no python maintenance

nbdev-stdlib provides docstring lookup for Python standard library modules within nbdev notebooks. Version 0.0.2404; no recent releases, appears to be in maintenance mode.

pip install nbdev-stdlib

Common errors

error ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'nbdev_stdlib' ↓

cause Package not installed or wrong import name.

fix

Run 'pip install nbdev-stdlib' and ensure import uses 'nbdev_stdlib' with underscores.

error KeyError: 'os.getcwd' ↓

cause The dot-path is not in the index or is incorrect.

fix

Verify the exact dot-path (e.g., 'os.getcwd' for os.getcwd). Standard library only.

Warnings

gotcha Import as `nbdev_stdlib`, not `nbdev_stdlib` — the package name on PyPI uses hyphens but the import uses underscores. ↓

fix Use 'from nbdev_stdlib import ...'

deprecated The library appears unmaintained since 2020. May not work with newer nbdev versions. ↓

fix Consider using nbdev's built-in documentation features or other alternatives.

gotcha StdLookup only supports standard library modules; it does not index third-party packages. ↓

fix For third-party packages, use nbdev's nbdev_show_doc or similar.

Imports

StdLookup
wrong
```
from nbdev.stdlib import StdLookup
```
correct
```
from nbdev_stdlib import StdLookup
```
The package is installed as nbdev-stdlib but imported as nbdev_stdlib

Quickstart

Create a StdLookup instance and call it with a dot-path to a standard library function to see its docstring.

from nbdev_stdlib import StdLookup
lookup = StdLookup()
print(lookup('os.getcwd'))
