problem with snippet def in python

I have some trouble understanding your trouble. If I expand the def snippet and delete the arguments, I get this result:

def function():
    """@todo: Docstring for function """
    :returns: @todo
    """

    pass

What do you get, what do you expect?

I get exactly the same as you, but I believe this is incorrect because of the first closing """"
what I would like to get is:

def function():
     """@todo: Docstring for function
     :returns: @todo
     """

    pass

What do you get, what do you expect?

sorry I didn't meant to copy the last line.

Ohh righty. DIdn't realize that this is wrong. I fixed this in r366. You can find it on launchpad or github.

Thanks SirVer, that solved my question.

I have another issue with the def snippet, this time when used in a class.
The problem is again when I don't want to use any arguments (so self will be the only argument).
When I try to delete arg1 with backspace instead of deleting arg1 when I keep pressing backspace
it just switches to normal mode, leaving the snippet as:

  def mymethod(self, ):
    """@todo: Docstring for mymethod

    :arg1: @todo
    :returns: @todo
    """

    pass

Let me know if you need clarification or if you don't have this issue.

Thanks!

I also have the dangling self,

    def mymethod(self, ):

I will correct this soonish by only adding ', ' when there is really something in tabstop 2.

but I can't reproduce the exiting to normal mode. I tried def<tab><BS><c-j> and it jumped to the next snippet alright.

First of all congratulations on release 2.

If I expand def in a class and If I delete the default argument I am having the same problem as
I inititially reported for the regular function, that is if I am in a class and expand def I get

  def function(self, arg1):
    """@todo: Docstring for function

    :arg1: @todo
    :returns: @todo
    """

    pass

if I move once and hit backspace when in arg1 the result is

  def function(self):
    """@todo: Docstring for function """
    :returns: @todo
    """

    pass

again here I believe there is an extra """".

The other minor thing with the def snippet is that if hit backspace with the default argument and after that
type "," again the following is what shows:

  def function(self, ,):
    """@todo: Docstring for function """
    :returns: @todo
    """

    pass

(it shows two consecutive commas)

I cannot reproduce this. The def inside a class works fine for me

    def function(self):
        """@todo: Docstring for function
        :returns: @todo
        """

        pass

Could it be that you've overwritten the shipped snippet in our own configuration?

Also, the case with the two commas: just don't type a comma, start with an argument, the comma will appear automatically.
