PyrexDoc - doco generator for Pyrex
Pyrex has to be one of the greatest pieces of
software since Python itself.
In case you don't yet know, Pyrex is a language that lets you mix Python and C code and
data types freely. For that unavoidable chore of writing Python wrappers
to C libraries, Pyrex makes this task vastly quicker and easier than
with tools like SWIG.
Pyrex has many many uses including:
- Easy creation of C library wrappers
- Huge speed gains, by writing time-critical code with C syntax and
C datatypes
- All other situations where easy calling of C code is of help
The only problem with Pyrex is that the automatic documentation
generation tools, like epydoc, happydoc and pydoc, are unable to detect functions, classes and
class methods in Pyrex modules.
So, rather than hacking around inside any of these utilities, it worked
out quicker for me to write another documentation generator, especially
for Pyrex.
PyrexDoc is pretty basic, but generates perfectly usable documentation
by lifting docstrings out of built Pyrex modules.
