(there are two big threads, so this might have been covered) 1] Is there a method other projects use, that we could copy? 2] I would definitely push for a web wiki-interface (at least to allow 'comment's section of current docs ) * allows correction submitions ( mentioned in other thread ) * wou

Hi Jake, Pygame does have a document generator, but it is tucked away in an obscured directory and only processes Python files. Sphinx also comes with a document generator. But first we would have to convert all the doc strings to reST markup. Also, how would a doc generator handle module lev

Why not use a doc-generater? It sounds like the current method you have to write the docstring twice. ( or at least decreases ease to update ) -- Jake

Hi Julian, Thanks, I will use you documents as a guide. Actually I was going to format the documents for Sphinx, like with pgreloaded, but now see that *is* reStructuredText. I intended to use a modified makeref.py to do the initial translation, then go from there. The one downside in switchin

Hi David, The .doc files are not actually Microsoft Word documents, but a custom text based format for Pygame. The HTML is then generated with the makeref.py tool, which is part of the Pygame source. To download the source, and documents: svn co svn://seul.org/svn/pygame/trunk Each module's

Hi, I guess it is not a well advertised feature, but more recent docs are installed with Pygame. Try: python -m pygame.docs (or python -m pygamd.docs.__main__for python 2.6) This should bring up the local copy in a browser. If not, they are found in site-packages/pygame/docs But y

There are many other errors in the docs, too. Click "show all comments" and read the comments on the various documentation pages to read about them. They don't appear to have been updated in a long time. Is anyone "in charge of" those documents? Is there a way to volunteer to fix some of the pr

At the top of the page in http://www.pygame.org/docs/ there are a list of links to module docs. I just noticed that this list is lacking links to Camera and Midi modules. These two modules are properly linked from any other module page (e.g. /docs/ref/color.html ), but not from /docs/ . Also, the l
