Sphinx epytext support

sphinx-epytext provides basic support for epytext docstrings <http://epydoc.sourceforge.net/epytext.html> in Sphinx autodoc <http://sphinx-doc.org/ext/autodoc.html>.

It connects to the 'autodoc-process-docstring' hook of Sphinx, to perform the following:

• Replaces '@' with ':' for epydoc fields. <http://epydoc.sourceforge.net/fields.html>
• Replaces L{..} and C{..} with :py:obj:`..`
• Removes U{..} from around links

Configuration

Add it to your extensions in conf.py:

extensions = [
    'sphinx.ext.autodoc',
    'sphinx_epytext',
    # your other sphinx extensions
    # ...
]

Then run sphinx-build.
