docme

Intro

docme is a python application, which its goal is to reduce writing redundant rst documentations.
it is similar to sphinx builtin autodoc module, but docme goal is to create more cleaner look,
that autodoc doesn’t provide.

Installation

Simply use pip installer:

pip install docme

Or download src files from Github/Pypi and write:

python setup.py install

for developers, use:

python setup.py develop

Where To Begin

Simple Start

lets say your project’s tree is like so:

.gitignore
src/
src/project/
src/project/file.py

and you wish to create auto documentation of your project.

simply use docme command - which is an entry point which directs to :func:docme.cli.main function:

docme src/project doc

where src/project is the path to your main project files,

and doc is the directory of docs that will be created.

The result is that a new folder will be created named doc, and in it all relevant rst files,

new tree will look like:

.gitignore
doc/
doc/api_reference/
doc/api_reference/project/
doc/api_reference/project/file.rst
doc/api_reference/project/index.rst
doc/api_reference/index.rst
doc/index.rst
src/
src/project/
src/project/file.py

now you can simply add make file and conf.py for sphinx to compile the doc to html!

cd doc
make html

Including External Doc

lets say you already got some doc to include to the api reference:

.gitignore
doc/
doc/how_to_start/
doc/how_to_start/advanced.rst
doc/how_to_start/intro.rst
doc/how_to_start/index.rst
src/
src/project/
src/project/file.py

you can include how_to_start section like so:

docme src/project doc --extra-doc how_to_start/index

pay attention it is exactly the line you need to add to the main index.rst.

newly created tree:

.gitignore
doc/
doc/how_to_start/
doc/how_to_start/advanced.rst
doc/how_to_start/intro.rst
doc/how_to_start/index.rst
doc/api_reference/
doc/api_reference/project/
doc/api_reference/project/file.rst
doc/api_reference/project/index.rst
doc/api_reference/index.rst
doc/index.rst
src/
src/project/
src/project/file.py

In your doc you can reference classes and functions from your api!

like so:

:class:`example<path.to.Class>`
