pydoctor

Standalone API documentation generator for Python that works by static analysis, built for Twisted.

Desktopfree

pydoctor is a standalone API documentation generator for Python that works by static analysis rather than importing the code being documented. Originally built to replace epydoc for the Twisted project, it resolves inheritance hierarchies and zope.interface declarations across several docstring formats. It's aimed at Python developers, particularly on large or complex codebases, who need reliable documentation generation without runtime introspection.
