Sphinx is a popular documentation generator for Python projects. It supports various output formats like HTML, PDF, and ePub. Properly documenting your code is crucial for understanding its functionality and usage. Sphinx allows you to document not only the API but also the internal details of your modules, classes, and functions. In this tutorial, we will learn how to document module/class/function bodies in Python Sphinx docs with code examples.
Before we begin, make sure you have the following installed:
Create a new directory for your project documentation.
Run Sphinx quickstart to create the basic documentation structure.
Follow the prompts to configure your documentation project.
In your Python code, use docstrings to document modules, classes, and functions. Docstrings are triple-quoted strings that describe the purpose and usage of your code.
Example of a Python module with docstrings:
Sphinx provides a feature called Autodoc, which automatically documents your Python modules, classes, and functions based on their docstrings.
Use the Autodoc directive to include your Python module in the documentation:
This directive tells Sphinx to automatically document all the members (functions, classes, etc.) of the mymodule module.
Go back to your Sphinx documentation directory.
Build the documentation using the following command

Sphinx is a powerful documentation generation tool commonly used for documenting Python projects. It allows you to create beautiful and informative documentation for your modules, classes, and functions. In this tutorial, we will learn how to document the bodies of Python modules, classes, and functions using Sphinx, along with code examples.
