Create Python API documentation in Markdown format.
Project description
Pydoc-Markdown
Pydoc-Markdown is a tool and library to create Python API documentation in
Markdown format based on lib2to3
, allowing it to parse your Python code
without executing it.
Pydoc-Markdown requires Python 3.6 or newer, however the code that you want to generate API documentation for can be for any Python version.
Features
- Understands multiple doc styles (Sphinx, Google, Pydoc-Markdown)
- Supports assignment docstrings (
#:
block before or string literal after the statement) - Links references to other documented API objects [WIP]
- MkDocs, Hugo and Docusaurus integration
Installation
Install Pydoc-Markdown from PyPI:
$ pipx install 'pydoc-markdown>=3.0.0,<4.0.0'
Quickstart (MkDocs)
$ pipx install mkdocs
$ pydoc-markdown --bootstrap mkdocs
$ pydoc-markdown --bootstrap readthedocs
$ pydoc-markdown --server --open
What this does:
- Install MkDocs
- Create a
pydoc-markdown.yml
file in the current directory - Create files to render your documentation on readthedocs.org
- Render Markdown files from the Python modules/packages in your current working directory and run MkDocs to open a live-preview of the page.
Quickstart (Hugo)
$ pydoc-markdown --bootstrap hugo
$ pydoc-markdown --server --open
What this does:
- Create a
pydoc-markdown.yml
file in the current directory - Render Markdown files from the Python modules/packages in your current working directory and run Hugo to open a live-preview of the page. If Hugo is not available on your system, it will be downloaded automatically.
