Login and get codingIn this Bite you will strip off all comments from some Python source code. Complete
strip_comments
that takes some multiline code string and strip out:
- Single line comments = lines that start with
#
.- PEP8-compliant inline comments, so code followed by 2 spaces, a
#
, a space and comment.- Multiline comments / docstrings (
"""my\ncomment"""
), which could be non indented (at the module level) or indented in a function/ method. You can assume these have always 3 double, not single, quotes.Return a string of the code without comments.
So this code:
"""this is my awesome script """ # importing modules import re def hello(name): """my function docstring""" return f'hello {name}' # my inline comment... would result in:
import re def hello(name): return f'hello {name}'Good luck and keep calm and code in Python!
