"""Griffe extension: expose runtime-modified docstrings to mkdocstrings. .. note:: **Beta feature** — the public API of this module (class name, hook method signatures) may change in a minor release while it stabilises. ``@deprecated(update_docstring=True)`` writes the deprecation notice into ``fn.__doc__`` at decoration time. Griffe — the engine used by mkdocstrings — reads docstrings from the source AST, so it never sees that runtime change. This extension bridges the gap: after Griffe has visited a module it imports the module at runtime and replaces every AST docstring whose callable carries a ``__deprecated__`` attribute (set by pyDeprecate) with the live ``__doc__``. Usage in ``mkdocs.yml``:: plugins: - mkdocstrings: handlers: python: options: extensions: - deprecate.docstring.griffe_ext:RuntimeDocstrings Requirements: ``griffe`` is a dependency of ``mkdocstrings[python]`` and will always be present in an MkDocs environment that uses mkdocstrings. Importing this module without ``griffe`` installed is safe — ``RuntimeDocstrings`` simply will not be defined.
