How to calculate lines of code, comments and docstrings for a Python module?

Question

Is there a tool or snippet that produces the following output in some form:

lines_of_code = 98
lines_of_comments = 24
lines_of_documentation = 11

NOTE 1: I will then try to feed this data to Jenkins to graph.

NOTE 2: I am aware that CLOC counts comments but I would like to separately count comments and docstrings.

I think it's feasible to write a simple script to do this calculation, if those 3 are what you need. — , Jul 20 '11 at 10:14

If I am not mistaken PyLint actually imports modules. For a simple static analysis I wouldn't want this. – muhuk Apr 10 '11 at 04:23
I'm fairly sure Pylint does use static analyis. It does not import the code under examination. – Jonathan Hartley Feb 03 '14 at 10:29
