A long while ago /F had a proposal for an XML format for publishing an
index to documentation so that other packages can incorporate those
links:
http://effbot.org/zone/idea-seealso.htm
I've dusted off some old code in sandbox/seealso and updated it, added
a hacked copy of pyspecific.py that adds a :seealsolinks:`module-name`
directive that can be put in the seealso section. Does this seem
like an idea worth pursuing?
Potential changes: I think the node tree generated by the directive
isn't quite right; the paragraph it returns is wrapped inside another
paragraph. Should it use Atom rather than a custom XML DTD? And how
would it be integrated into the build process? (I'd suggest having a
separate 'make seealso' target that fetched a list of files, parsed
them, and stored them in the build/ directory.)
