You can autogenerate API docs using pydoc (builtin, usually ugly) or
epydoc
(external, not so ugly), or you can use a project like sphinx for hand
written docs.

As far as hosting goes, sourceforge is usually the way to go, although
I'm
a huge fan of gitorious (in fact, wrote a recipe to autogenerate API
docs
for markdown <URL: http://code.activestate.com/recipes/576733/>) but
you
have to be using git for it to work. Github is another choice. If
that's
the case.

As far as licensing goes, you have a *LOT* of options, so you may want
to
