+\sectionauthor{Fred L. Drake, Jr.}{fdrake@acm.org}
+
+
+The \module{pyclbr} can be used to determine some limited information
+about the classes and methods defined in a module. The information
+provided is sufficient to implement a traditional three-pane class
+browser. The information is extracted from the source code rather
+than from an imported module, so this module is safe to use with
+untrusted source code.
+
+
+\begin{funcdesc}{readmodule}{module\optional{, path}}
+ % The 'inpackage' parameter appears to be for internal use only....
+ Read a module and return a dictionary mapping class names to class
+ descriptor objects. The parameter \var{module} should be the name
+ of a module as a string; it may be the name of a module within a
+ package. The \var{path} parameter should be a sequence, and is used
+ to augment the value of \code{sys.path}, which is used to locate
+ module source code.
+\end{funcdesc}
+
+
+\subsection{Class Descriptor Objects \label{pyclbr-class-objects}}
+
+The class descriptor objects used as values in the dictionary returned
+by \function{readmodule()} provide the following data members:
+
+
+\begin{memberdesc}[class descriptor]{name}
+ The name of the class.
+\end{memberdesc}
+
+\begin{memberdesc}[class descriptor]{super}
+ A list of class descriptors which describe the immediate base
+ classes of the class being described. Classes which are named as
+ superclasses but which are not discoverable by
+ \function{readmodule()} are listed as a string with the class name
+ instead of class descriptors.
+\end{memberdesc}
+
+\begin{memberdesc}[class descriptor]{methods}
+ A dictionary mapping method names to line numbers.
+\end{memberdesc}
+
+\begin{memberdesc}[class descriptor]{file}
+ Name of the file containing the class statement defining the class.
+\end{memberdesc}
+
+\begin{memberdesc}[class descriptor]{lineno}
+ The line number of the class statement within the file named by
+ \member{file}.

+\section{\module{tokenize} ---
+ Tokenizer for Python source}

+\declaremodule{standard}{tokenize}
+\modulesynopsis{Lexical scanner for Python source code.}
+\moduleauthor{Ka Ping Yee}{}
+\sectionauthor{Fred L. Drake, Jr.}{fdrake@acm.org}
+
+
+The \module{tokenize} module provides a lexical scanner for Python
+source code, implemented in Python. The scanner in this module
+returns comments as tokens as well, making it useful for implementing
+``pretty-printers,'' including colorizers for on-screen displays.
+
+The scanner is exposed via single function:
+
+
+\begin{funcdesc}{tokenize}{readline\optional{, tokeneater}}
+ The \function{tokenize()} function accepts two parameters: one
+ representing the input stream, and one providing an output mechanism
+ for \function{tokenize()}.
+
+ The first parameter, \var{readline}, must be a callable object which
+ provides the same interface as \method{readline()} method of
+ built-in file objects (see section~\ref{bltin-file-objects}). Each
+ call to the function should return one line of input as a string.
+
+ The second parameter, \var{tokeneater}, must also be a callable
+ object. It is called with five parameters: the token type, the
+ token string, a tuple \code{(\var{srow}, \var{scol})} specifying the
+ row and column where the token begins in the source, a tuple
+ \code{(\var{erow}, \var{ecol})} giving the ending position of the
+ token, and the line on which the token was found. The line passed
+ is the \emph{logical} line; continuation lines are included.
+\end{funcdesc}
+
+
+All constants from the \refmodule{token} module are also exported from
+\module{tokenize}, as is one additional token type value that might be
+passed to the \var{tokeneater} function by \function{tokenize()}:
+
+\begin{datadesc}{COMMENT}
+ Token value used to indicate a comment.
+\end{datadesc}
