+Epydoc is a tool for generating API documentation for Python modules,
+based on their docstrings. For an example of epydoc's output, see the API
+documentation for epydoc itself (html, pdf). 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. Epydoc also
+understands docstrings written in reStructuredText, Javadoc, and plaintext.
