- Many Python tools use special comments for source code analysis, but lack a unified standard.
- This library introduces a standard format for action comments, simplifying their use across tools.
- Action comments consist of a key, action, and optional arguments, following Python syntax rules.
- The library provides a parser to extract and insert these comments, supporting various data types.
- Developers can filter comments by key, handle case sensitivity, and manage multiple comments per line.
- For non-Python tools, the library offers a safe subset of Python syntax for implementing custom parsers.
