pypiautodocgen 0.1.1

AI-powered CLI tool that generates Markdown documentation from Python docstrings and code structure

AutoDocGen

AI-powered Markdown documentation generator for Python projects.

AutoDocGen scans your Python source code, extracts docstrings and structure using Python's built-in AST parser, and uses AI to generate comprehensive, readable Markdown documentation — one file per module plus a navigable index.

---

Features

• Multi-Provider Support — Works with OpenRouter, Groq, Google Gemini, and OpenAI.
• AST-based parsing — No fragile regex. Uses Python's ast module to accurately extract modules, classes, methods, and functions.
• Jinja2 Templates — Clean, customizable Markdown output using industry-standard templates.
• Async function support — Correctly identifies and labels async def functions.
• Cross-module linking — Automatically traces imports to create related module links.
• Navigable index — Produces a comprehensive index.md.
• Flexible configuration — Supports .env, autodocgen.yaml, pyproject.toml, and CLI flags.
