Is there any way to find commented data from python program

Question

I would like to extract only commented data from python program.

def addlist():
    '''
    method to add all the number in a list
    :return:integer
    '''
    input_number = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
    sum = reduce(lambda x, y: x + y, input_number, 10)
    print("sum is:", sum)
    return sum

I was trying some regex but could not do it successfully. I want to get

'method to add all the number in a list:return:integer'

Any help is appreciated

you can get it using __doc__ method, or you can use a tool such as pydoc that will extract those strings as documentation, and then you can template the documentation for whatever you want to present it. — zmo

@Dan remove regex tag from the question as this question has been answered and it has nothing to do with regex. tx. — SanV

You can retrieve it with addList.__doc__.
