Hi everyone,
I'm using sphinx to document a python project of mine. I've run into a
problem with the automodule directive - it seems to ignore module-level
docstrings. For example:
in module.py:
<code>
"""
My Module
#########
General introductory text to this module - links to classes & functions
defined in the module go here.
"""
def a_function():
"""some docstring for a_function."""
class Foo(object):
"""Some docstring for Foo."""
</code>
in my sphinx documentation files, I have:
<code>
.. automodule:: module
:members:
</code>
What I expect to see in the output is something similar to:
<output>
<heading>My module</heading>
General introductory text to this module - links to classes & functions
defined in the module go here.
documentation for 'a_function'
documentation for 'Foo'
</output>
Instead, I just get the documentation for the functions & classes defined
in that module.
Is there any way to get the automodule directive to use module-level
docstrings as an introductory text to the module documentation?
Thanks,
