python-apibook

Are you tired of fighting Sphinx to get it to do what you want? Do you want to write your documentation in Markdown? Do you want to easily combine prose with API docs? Then this is the tool for you!

python-apibook uses the AST module to parse your code and generate API documentation in Markdown format, and can easily be merged into your existing mdbook SUMMARY.md file.

Installation

pip install git+https://github.com/tgolsson/python-apibook.git

Usage

To see the available options, run:

python -m apibook.cli --help

To generate API documentation for a package, run:

python-apibook my_package doc/src --summary-template-file doc/SUMMARY.tmpl

This will generate all markdown sources and a SUMMARY.md file in the doc/src directory, which you can include in your mdbook project. Hint: Combine this with mdbook serve doc to see the results in real-time.
