Strip comments from python code
Level: Advanced (score: 4)
In 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!
