Hmm,
I've got my module docstring as the first thing in teh file -- after the #!
line...
and it still doesn't show up in the docs.
the module:
#!/usr/bin/env python
"""
outputters.py
module to define classes for GNOME output:
- base class
- saving to netcdf
- saving to other formats ?
"""
import os
import copy
and in my rst:
---------------------------------------------------
.. automodule:: gnome.outputters
.. autoclass:: Outputter
:members:
:show-inheritance:
But the docs jump right to the Outputter class -- no docstring for the
module
and this is the case all over my project.
