Documentation

Installation

$ pip install pdoc3

Usage

Pdoc will accept a Python module file, package directory or an import path.

$ pdoc your_project

See pdoc --help for more command-line switches and the documentation for more usage examples.

Features

  • Simple usage. Generate sensible API (+ prose) documentation without any special configuration.
  • Support for common docstrings formats (Markdown, numpydoc, Google-style docstrings) and some reST directives.
  • pdoc respects __all__ when present.
  • Inheritance used as applicable for inferring docstrings for class members.
  • Support for documenting module, class, and instance variables by traversing ASTs.
  • Automatic cross-linking of referenced identifiers in HTML.
  • Overriding docstrings with special module-level __pdoc__ dictionary.
  • Built-in development web server for near instant preview of rendered docstrings.

The above features are explained in more detail in pdoc's documentation (which was generated with pdoc).
