In their own words
pdoc
pdoc generates API documentation from Python projects and organizes it around each project's module hierarchy. Its setup documentation says no configuration is needed to begin. The tool produces standalone HTML that can be exported to files, and a built-in web server refreshes the documentation when source files change. It supports Python type annotations and recognizes Markdown, numpydoc, and Google-style docstrings, with limited reStructuredText support. Developers can customize the generated HTML templates; search runs in the browser without third-party services. Deployment guidance covers GitHub Pages, and custom HTML fragments can be embedded in content management systems or static site generators. pdoc also offers a high-level interface and can be used as a Python library. It is free and open source, compatible with Python 3.10 and newer, and available for Linux, macOS, Windows, web, and self-hosted use. HTML is its only output format, and API documentation is its principal use case. Since pdoc imports or executes the Python modules while extracting docstrings, those modules are executed during documentation generation; Sphinx is recommended for substantially more complex documentation needs.
