Sphinx autodoc including classes and methods












2














I have python classes and some of them are in their own files



i.e. userdata.py:



class userdata:
"""User input class for reading..."""

def __init__(self, fname):
self.fname = fname


def trykey(self,name,injson):
....


I have tried multiple methods to be able to refer to a specific method in that class in the documentation, but it did not work.



I am generating autodoc via command



sphinx-apidoc 


It only generates modules for the code above



_lib.io package
=====================

Submodules
----------

.. toctree::

lib.io.userdata

Module contents
---------------

.. automodule:: lib.io
:members:
:undoc-members:
:show-inheritance:


Similar problem for modules with multiple classes
i.e. ad1.py



class inner1(inherited)
....
class inner2(inherited)
....def
....


autodoc:



_lib.ad.ad1 module
===========================================

.. automodule:: lib.ad.ad1
:members:
:undoc-members:
:show-inheritance:


Is there a way to get autoclass and automethod automatically generated as well.

  • Note that sphinx-apidoc only generates automodule directives. If you want to use autoclass or autofunction, you have to add these directives by hand. In order to understand exactly what your problem is, we need more details (preferably in the form of a Minimal, Complete, and Verifiable example).
