Sphinx-autox

A little opinionated version of autodoc and autosummary that recursively documents your modules and creates one file per class.

Usage

Add sphinxext_autox as the first entry to your extensions in conf.py:

extensions = [
    'sphinxext_autox',
    ...
]

Create a api.rst file like the following:

My API
======

.. autosummary::
   :toctree: source
   :recursive:

   mymodule1
   mymodule2

The stub files will be created/maintained in the source folder.

Critique

Unfortunately, since other files in Sphinx also try to load autodoc, this package has to replace the original files. It isn't possible to make a custom version without also having to change the rST tags.
