Welcome! This sphinx extension provides some useful extensions to the Sphinxs autodoc extension. Those are
- It creates a Table of Contents in the style of the autosummary extension with methods, classes, functions and attributes
- As you can include the
__init__
method documentation for via the autoclass_content configuration value, we provide the autodata_content configuration value to include the documentation from the__call__
method - You can exclude the string representation of specific objects. E.g. if you have a large dictionary using the not_document_data configuration value.
See the Documentation on Readthedocs for more details.
Simply install it via pip
:
$ pip install autodocsumm
Use pip
on the source on GitHub:
$ pip install .
The package only requires Sphinx to be installed. It has been tested for versions higher than 1.3.
In order to activate the autodocsumm extension, you have to list it in your
conf.py
:
extensions = [
'sphinx.ext.autodoc',
...,
'autodocsumm',
]
Once this is done, you can use the :autosummary:
option for autodoc
directives to generate a table at the top, e.g.:
.. automodule:: my.awesome.module
:autosummary:
Optionally, you can make autodocsumm active by default for all autodoc
directives by adding in conf.py
:
autodoc_default_options = {
'autosummary': True,
}
