About this documentation
|
|
========================
|
|
|
|
|
|
Python's documentation is generated from `reStructuredText`_ sources
|
|
using `Sphinx`_, a documentation generator originally created for Python
|
|
and now maintained as an independent project.
|
|
|
|
.. _reStructuredText: https://docutils.sourceforge.io/rst.html
|
|
.. _Sphinx: https://www.sphinx-doc.org/
|
|
|
|
.. In the online version of these documents, you can submit comments and suggest
|
|
changes directly on the documentation pages.
|
|
|
|
Development of the documentation and its toolchain is an entirely volunteer
|
|
effort, just like Python itself. If you want to contribute, please take a
|
|
look at the :ref:`reporting-bugs` page for information on how to do so. New
|
|
volunteers are always welcome!
|
|
|
|
Many thanks go to:
|
|
|
|
* Fred L. Drake, Jr., the creator of the original Python documentation toolset
|
|
and author of much of the content;
|
|
* the `Docutils <https://docutils.sourceforge.io/>`_ project for creating
|
|
reStructuredText and the Docutils suite;
|
|
* Fredrik Lundh for his Alternative Python Reference project from which Sphinx
|
|
got many good ideas.
