Python

omplete version of my first useful Python script. The purpose of it is to generate javadoc comments (plus any ETSU CS department-specific comment blocks) and write them to a text file to then be pasted into the Java source file. Eventually, I hope to figure out how to have it insert the comments in the appropriate spot in a Java source file and auto-complete some of that information based on the file itself.

I really hated how time consuming it was to do those javadoc comment blocks, and I had originally planned on using Java to implement the functionality of the script, but I picked up that Python book and thought this would be a good exercise in the language. Oddly enough, the submission requirements for the projects in my Java class said the javadocs were required, but I kept getting bonus points for adding them.

Edit:
I keep getting an error message when I try to run a modified version of the script.
"SyntaxError: invalid syntax" on the line "methodcomment = "/**\n"

#Function that builds the method javadocs comments
def methoddoc() :
	methodname = raw_input('Method name: ')
	methodpurpose = raw_input('Method purpose: ')
	methoddate = raw_input('Creation date: ')
	methodspecs = raw_input('Specifications, special algorithms, and assumptions: ')
	numparams = int(raw_input('Number of parameters: ')
	
		
	methodcomment = "/**\n"
	methodcomment += "* Method Name: 		" + methodname + "

	methodcomment += "* Method Purpose: 		" + methodpurpose + "

	for i in range(1, numparams):

	returntype = raw_input('Returns (void if void): ')
	
	methodcomment += "* " + returntype + "

	methodcomment += "*\n"
	methodcomment += "*\n"

	return methodcomment

EditEdit:
Fixed.
