I just released version 1.1 of epydoc.  Epydoc is a tool for generating
API documentation for Python modules, based on their docstrings.

     <http://epydoc.sourceforge.net/>

A lightweight markup language called epytext can be used to format
docstrings, and to add information about specific fields, such as
parameters and instance variables.

For some examples of the documentation generated by epydoc, see:

   - The API documentation for epydoc.
     <http://epydoc.sourceforge.net/api/>

   - The API documentation for the Python 2.2 standard library.
     <http://epydoc.sourceforge.net/stdlib/>

   - The API documentation for NLTK, the natural langauge toolkit.
     <http://nltk.sourceforge.net/ref/>

New features added since 1.0 include:
   - A frames-based table of contents
   - Documentation for builtin objects
   - Documentation for types
   - Improved navigation bars
   - Improved warning messages
   - Better documentation for variables
   - An identifier index
   - An improved graphical interface
   - Man pages

A complete list of new features and the change log are available at:
