Download this blogpost from https://codegive.com • doxygen is a powerful tool for generating documentation from source code, originally designed for c++ but also applicable to python and various other languages. it can generate documentation in various formats, including html, latex, and markdown, making it a versatile choice for documenting your python projects. in this tutorial, we'll walk through the process of documenting python code using doxygen with code examples. • before you start, make sure you have doxygen installed on your system. you can download it from the official website: doxygen or install it using package managers like apt, brew, or pip. you will also need python installed on your system. • create a new directory for your python project or navigate to an existing one where you want to add documentation. • inside your project directory, create a python script (e.g., main.py) that contains the code you want to document. • create a configuration file for doxygen. you can use the default doxyfile that comes with doxygen, or create a custom one by running: • this command will generate a my_doxygen_config file. open it in a text editor to customize it later. • to generate meaningful documentation, you need to add comments to your python code in a specific format recognized by doxygen. here's an example of how to write documentation comments in python: • in the example above, we use triple double-quotes ( ) to enclose the documentation comments. these comments follow the google style docstrings format, which is compatible with doxygen. • now, let's configure doxygen to generate documentation for your python code: • open the my_doxygen_config file or your custom doxyfile in a text editor. • configure the following settings: • optionally, you can set various other options to customize the output format, styles, and more. refer to the doxygen documentation for more details on available configuration options. • once your doxygen configuration is set up, you can generate documentation for your python code: • replace my_doxygen_confi ...
