can not generate modules documentation of package

[seidlmic]

Hello,
I am not sure if I am missing something obvious but I can not generate documentation of simple package a with two modules b,c in this form:

a/
  __init__.py
  b.py
  c.py

When the file init.py is empty with command from above dir a
pdoc --html --html-dir ../ --all-submodules a
no documentation is generated except init.py file itself although the parameter --all-submodules is used. I have finally have to modify init.py and instert into it

import b
import c
__all__ = ['b','c']

which I actually do need just for pdoc to work

Thanks for any advice Michal S.

That's intentional. pdoc is a tool for documenting the public interface of your library.

I see, Thanks
