Howdy,
in ipython we use numpydoc, and as I was just trying to build the docs
from a clean checkout of ipython's trunk, I kept getting errors that I
was able to fix with this patch:
amirbar[sphinxext] svn diff
Index: numpydoc.py
===
--- numpydoc.py (revision 8332)
+++ numpydoc.py (working copy)
@@ -73,7 +73,8 @@
def mangle_signature(app, what, name, obj, options, sig, retann):
# Do not try to inspect classes that don't define `__init__`
if (inspect.isclass(obj) and
-'initializes x; see ' in pydoc.getdoc(obj.__init__)):
+(not hasattr(obj, '__init__') or
+'initializes x; see ' in pydoc.getdoc(obj.__init__))):
return '', ''
if not (callable(obj) or hasattr(obj, '__argspec_is_invalid_')): return
The errors were always of the type:
Exception occurred:
File /home/fperez/ipython/repo/trunk-lp/docs/sphinxext/numpydoc.py,
line 71, in mangle_signature
'initializes x; see ' in pydoc.getdoc(obj.__init__)):
AttributeError: class Bunch has no attribute '__init__'
The full traceback has been saved in /tmp/sphinx-err-H1VlaY.log, if
you want to report the issue to the developers.
so it seems indeed that accessing __init__ without checking it's there
isn't a very good idea.
But I didn't write numpydoc and I'm tired, so I don't want to commit
this without a second pair of eyes...
Cheers,
f
