FWIW: I (@rondy) am not the creator of the content shared here, which is an excerpt from Edmond Lau's book. I simply copied and pasted it from another location and saved it as a personal note, before it gained popularity on news.ycombinator.com. Unfortunately, I cannot recall the exact origin of the original source, nor was I able to find the author's name, so I am can't provide the appropriate credits.

Sphinx Setup for autodoc

Sphinx is a documentation generator that is the de facto standard for Python projects. The official documentation can be a bit daunting as it includes so many options, it's hard to know where to start.

Note: This Gist was updated on 04/04/2019 to accomodate a newer version of Sphinx, as well as Python 3.7. YMMV!

This document is written with the following presuppositions:

• You want to leverage the DocStrings in your Python code.
• You'd rather write your DocStrings in Google-style instead of a more awkward reStructuredText format for calling documentation.
