I agree with this, and am not very interested in tools such as epydoc
for this reason.  In such autogenerated documentation, you wind up
with a list of every single class and function, and both trivial and
important classes are given exactly the same emphasis.  Such docs are
useful as a reference when you know what class you need to look at,
but then pydoc also works well for that purpose.
