epydoc isn't abandoned - but happydoc is.

I like epydoc, but would also prefer to see a version that parsed source code rather than importing it. Would make it much harder to link classes to super classes etc though I guess.

I can't find any. HappyDoc is way, way out of date (it blows up on
newer code, in certain situations, I think) and epydoc just has loads
and loads of problems with its importing of code (at least with
Twisted, and anything else using Zope Interfaces). Has anyone heard
anything about better docstring-based API doc generation lately?

I'm afraid I'm going to have to release Twisted 2.0 without API docs,
but I'm considering improving HappyDoc after that.



Gasp ! Wasn't epydoc originaly coming from the twisted project, as I thought ? I really do like epydoc, and would be sad if it's not maintained anymore... Having epydoc not importing the code would be probably the best option (based on the compiler std module, probably), and so it could become a kind of "standardized" docstring format (using the ReST backend, of course ;). I don't know much of the epydoc source code right know, but I would be happy to help such a task instead of seing epydoc abandoned.
