Writing documentation

Familiarize yourself with Sphinx and reStructuredText.

Literature

The home page is pyglet/doc/index.rst. This file create three toctrees:

• The programming guide
• The API docs
• The development guide, which you are reading now

Source code

The API documentation is generated from the source code docstrings via autodoc and a few custom extensions.

Example:

class Class1():
'''Short description.

Detailed explanation, formatted as reST.
Can be as detailed as it is needed.


:Ivariables:
   `arg1`
       description


.. versionadded:: 1.2

'''

attribute1 = None
'''This is an attribute.

More details.
'''

#: This is another attribute.
attribute2 = None


def __init__(self):
    '''Constructor

    :parameters:
       `arg1` : type
          description
    '''

    self.instance_attribute = None
    '''This is an instance attribute.
    '''

def method(self):
    '''Short description.

    :returns: return description
    :rtype: returned type
    '''

def _get_property1(self):
    '''Getter Method contains docstrings for a property

    :return: property1 value
    :rtype: property1 type
    '''

def _set_property1(self, value):
    '''Setter Method docstrings are ignored
    '''

property1 = property(_get_property1, _set_property1,
                  doc='''Override docstring here if you want''')

Building

The complete documentation can be generated using sphinx. Make sure you prepare your environment as stated in Development environment.

To build the documentation, execute:

./make.py docs

Note

Due to a bug in Sphinx, documentation generation currently only works using Python 3.x.

If the build succeeds, the web pages are in doc/_build/html.

HTML Theme

The custom sphinx theme is in the ext/theme folder.
