python-dbc (epydoc-based Design-by-Contract validator)

Hello,

I would like to notify the community about the availability of new 
python-dbc module, allowing one to perform basic design-by-contract 
checks using the docstring definitions in epydoc format. No public 
releases has been done yet, but the home page with overall instructions 
is created at http://python-dbc.googlecode.com/ and the code is 
available at https://python-dbc.googlecode.com/hg/ (this is a Mercurial 
repository, use hg clone).

At the moment, the primary functionality available is the validation of 
@precondition/@postcondition/@type/@rtype docstring fields in every 
function wrapped using @contract_epydoc decorator. The code is early, 
lacks a proper amount of unit tests and documentation, and definitely 
may have bugs for now, but it is stress-tested at the moment in internal 
projects, so far so good. The future plans include allowing to use the 
@contract_epydoc decorator to wrap the classes, thus making possible to 
add the support of @invariant fields in the class docstrings.
