[SciPy-User] Problems with numpydoc

[Ryan Nelson]

Hello all,

I really like the Numpy/Scipy documentation strings, and I've been using
that style for a small project of mine. However, I'm having problems getting
Sphinx (version 1.0.7) to autodoc my code properly using the numpydoc
package. I've tried installing numpydoc via easy_install and using the code
from the git Numpy repo directly, and they both give me the same problems.
The latex and html builders are giving me similar problems.  I run the
following commands to build the documentations (below). After the
sphinx-build command, I get an error saying that 'Parameters' is an
unexpected section title, even though I thought that was what 'numpydoc' was
supposed to process. After the build, the documentation is not displayed in
the same way as the Numpy documentation. Can anyone give me any advice to
get this working.

Thank you so much.

Ryan

P.S. I've attached a minimal, but complete, sphinx-quickstart project. The
project is titled 'Test'. I've built both the html (build/static) and latex
(build/latex) documentation. The source code for my test class is located in
the sptest directory.
