I'm trying to automatically generate documentation for my Django project using Sphinx with the autodoc and napoleon extensions.
Using sphinx-quickstart I've created the following structure:
MyDjangoProject
├── __init__.py
├── config
│ ├── __init__.py
│ ├── settings.py
│ ├── urls.py
│ └── wsgi.py
├── docs
│ ├── Makefile
│ ├── build
│ └── source
│ ├── _static
│ ├── _templates
│ ├── conf.py
│ └── index.rst
├── myfirstapp
│ ├── __init__.py
│ ├── models.py
│ └── views.py
├── mysecondapp
│ ├── __init__.py
│ ├── models.py
│ └── views.py
...
I've customized docs/source/conf.py to reflect my project structure.
import os
import sys
proj_folder = os.path.realpath(
os.path.join(os.path.dirname(__file__), '../..'))
sys.path.append(proj_folder)
os.environ.setdefault('DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE', 'config.settings')
import django
django.setup()
extensions = ['sphinx.ext.autodoc', 'sphinx.ext.intersphinx', 'sphinx.ext.napoleon', 'sphinx.ext.viewcode']
# The rest of the default configuration...
Then I go to the root of my project and run sphinx-apidoc -f -o docs/source .. This adds a .rst file for each module to docs/source.
Finally I go to MyDjangoProject and run make html. This fails with an error for each module saying
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/Users/Oskar/git/MyDjangoProject/venv/lib/python2.7/site-packages/sphinx/ext/autodoc.py", line 551, in import_object
__import__(self.modname)
ImportError: No module named MyDjangoProject.myfirstapp
What am I doing wrong?
