Yet, here’s what you have to do for Sphinx which is an insane amount of work for something that JavaDoc, POD, Doxygen, RubyDoc Nit: Sphinx is a system for long-form, separately written documentation. Like manuals and tutorials; think stuff that requires indices. That's why autodoc is an extension, why you usually set up a separate directory, why you have the flexible build system, and so on. (Although all you have to do is create a file and type `automodule` and then the module name.)
