Functions

reprex(input, outfile=None, venue='gh', advertise=None, session_info=False, style=False, comment='#>', old_results=False, print_=True, terminal=False)

Render reproducible examples of Python code for sharing. This function will evaluate your code and returns an instance of a Reprex subclass. Calling str(...) on the Reprex object will return your code with the evaluated results embedded as comments, plus additional markup appropriate to the sharing venue set by the venue keyword argument.

For example, for the gh venue for GitHub Flavored Markdown, you'll get a reprex whose string representation looks like:

```python
x = 2
x + 2
#> 4
```

The supported venue formats are:

• gh : GitHub Flavored Markdown
• so : StackOverflow, alias for gh
• ds : Discourse, alias for gh
• html : HTML
• py : Python script
• rtf : Rich Text Format
• slack : Slack

Parameters:

Name	Type	Description	Default
input	str	Block of Python code	required
outfile	Optional[Path]	Optional file path to write reprex to. Defaults to None.	None
venue	str	Determines the output format by the venue you want to share the code. Defaults to "gh" for GitHub Flavored Markdown.	'gh'
advertise	Optional[bool]	Whether to include a note that links back to the reprexlite package. Default None will use the default set by choice of venue.	None
session_info	bool	Whether to include additional details about your Python version, operating system, and installed packages. Defaults to False.	False
style	bool	Whether to autoformat your code with black. Defaults to False.	False
comment	str	Line prefix to use for displaying evaluated results. Defaults to "#>".	'#>'
old_results	bool	Whether to keep old results, i.e., comment lines in input that match the comment prefix. False means these lines are removed, in effect meaning an inputted regex will have its results regenerated. Defaults to False.	False
print_	bool	Whether to print your reprex to console. Defaults to True.	True
terminal	bool	Whether to use syntax highlighting for 256-color terminal display. Requires optional dependency Pygments. Defaults to False.	False

Returns:

Type	Description
Reprex	Instance of a Reprex concrete subclass for venue.
