sphinx-autosummary-accessors

sphinx-autosummary-accessors is a sphinx extension to properly document pandas or xarray style accessors using autosummary and autodoc.

autosummary is able to create summary and detail pages for objects and their methods, but it doesn’t work well with accessor styled properties and methods (obj.accessor.attribute). pandas uses autosummary templates to build its accessor documentation, which xarray recently adopted by copying the templates and all related code.

To avoid even more duplicated code, and to make it easier for projects to document their custom accessors, this package aims to make this (almost) as simple as adding "sphinx_autosummary_accessors" to the extensions setting.

Most of the code is adapted from pandas.

It is developed on github.
