I've been using epydoc (http://epydoc.sourceforge.net) for a while now, 
and it's really nice. The output is very much in the style of Javadoc. 
Its markup language lets you document module, class, and instance 
variables and constants by mentioning them in the module or class's 
docstring. It has its own markup languge (very JavaDoc-ish), but it 
also supports JavaDoc and reStructuredText syntax.
