archives is a new style of python code documentation, as well as a linter for the documentation itself. It can help you ensure that your docstrings in your classes and functions stay up to date, and that they adequately explain their purpose, arguments, and return value.
- linter for docstrings (work in progress, but usable!)
- (coming soon) documentation generator

tox -e py36archives supports python 3.8+ in version 0.13 and beyond, however, version 0.13 and beyond will show slightly different CC values due to how branches are calculated.
