For now Doxygen has limited support for Python. It recognizes Python
comments, but otherwise treats the language as being more or less
like Java. It doesn’t understand basic Python syntax constructs like
docstrings, keyword arguments, generators, nested functions,
decorators, or lambda expressions. It likewise doesn’t understand
conventional constructs like doctests or ZOPE-style interfaces. It
does however support inline filters that can be used to make input
source code a little more like what it’s expecting.
.
The excellent doxypy makes it possible to embed Doxygen commands in
Python docstrings, and have those docstrings converted to
Doxygen-recognized comments on the fly per Doxygen’s regular input
filtering process. It however does not address any of the other
previously mentioned areas of difficulty.
.
This project started off as a fork of doxypy but quickly became quite
distinct. It shares little (if any) of the same code at this point
(but maintains the original license just in case). It is meant to
support all the same command line options as doxypy, but handle
additional Python syntax beyond docstrings.
