Project description

🙌 Handsdown - Python documentation generator

Python docstring-based documentation generator for lazy perfectionists.

🔬 Features

  • 👓 PEP257, Google and RST docstrings support. All of them are converted to a valid markdown.
  • 🐈 Github-friendly. Use your local markdown viewer or open docs right on Github
  • 📚 Signatures for every class, function and method.
  • 🚀 Support for type annotations. Even for the ones from the __future__!
  • 📦 Nice list of all modules in Modules
  • 🔎 Gather all scattered README.md in submodules to one place
  • 🚧 Links to source code from every doc section.
  • #️⃣ Make links by just adding module.import.String to docs.
  • 💕 Do you love type annotations? Well, you get auto-discovery of related modules for free!

🎉 Usage

💻 From command line

Just go to your favorite project that has lots of docstrings but missing auto-generated docs and let handsdown do the thing.

cd ~/my/project

# output buolt MD files to docs/*
handsdown

# or provide custom output: output_dir/*
handsdown -o output_dir

# generate docs only for my_module, but no migrations, plz
handsdown my_module --exclude my_module/migrations

Navigate to docs/README.md to check your new documentation!

🧩 As a module

from handsdown import Generator
from handsdown import PathFinder
repo_path = Path.cwd()

handsdown = Generator(
    input_path=repo_path,
    output_path=repo_path / 'output',
    source_paths=PathFinder(repo_path, "**/*.py").list()
)

# generate all docs at once
handsdown.generate_docs()

# or generate just for one doc
handsdown.generate_doc(repo_path / 'my_module' / 'source.py')

# and generate index.md file
handsdown.generate_index()
