sphinx-autodoc-argparse
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.mockdependency) - 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-autodoc-argparse
Usage
In your docs/conf.py:
extensions = ["sphinx_autodoc_argparse"]
Then use the .. argparse:: directive:
.. argparse::
:module: myapp.cli
:func: create_parser
:prog: myapp
