A good practice when you are programming in Python is adding the type of the parameters. For example:
def write_statistics_packets(self, state):
"""Write the packet statistics."""
Params:
+state (dict): state of blablabl...Also, there are a lot of methods where the parameters are not in the documentation. Example:
def dict_regex_search(content, regex):
"""Apply the regex over all the fields of the dictionary."""
CODE In this case, we should document what are content and regex parameters and what is their "mission"
| def write_message(self, content, state): | ||
| """Write the message. | ||
|
|
||
| The content argument is a dictionary with at least 'description' item. |

I think that is not a good idea to explain the "content" param in this way. Please, follow the same style as in the other functions

|
|
||
| The module contains functions to log the new messages. | ||
| The 'content' dictionary is defined in the FormatDevice class. |

I am not sure about how to describe this param but I think that this is not correct

I think that this comment it is not necessary: we only have a class in this file (with the same name of the class).

Package LogParser or LogParser Packgage?

Thanks for the feedback!
I think that you are right. I have been duplicating the documentation in all the headers of the packages and classes and this is very time consuming and useless.
I was following some best-practices from Google but as said it could not be the best idea. At the end, we should write documentation that looks good when using the `help()` function and that follows the community practices.
However, making these changes in this PR will make these package to not follow the current *practices* (inconsistency with other packages) and it will cause many conflicts for the existing PR. I will create a new issue to make these changes after merging the current branches.

I have created #11 to track the documentation discussion. Do you agree to make these changes in other PR? If so, is there any change pending in this PR? |

Perfect! |
Implement a new device that allows to show the parsed output in different format. The default and current implementation is Markdown but in the future we could implement XML or JSON devices.
