Modern Sphinx extension for documenting argparse-based CLI tools

sphinx-argparse-neo

Modern Sphinx extension for documenting argparse-based CLI tools.

A modernized replacement for sphinx-argparse that:

• Works with Sphinx 8.x and 9.x (no autodoc.mock dependency)
• Fixes long-standing issues (TOC pollution, heading levels)
• Provides configurable output (rubrics vs sections, flattened subcommands)
• Includes Pygments lexers for argparse help output and CLI usage blocks
• Supports extensibility via renderer classes

Install

$ pip install sphinx-argparse-neo

Usage

In your docs/conf.py:

extensions = ["sphinx_argparse_neo"]

Then use the .. argparse:: directive:

.. argparse::
   :module: myapp.cli
   :func: create_parser
   :prog: myapp
