Описание тега sphinx-napoleon

Napoleon is an extension for the Sphinx documentation generator. It is written by Rob Ruana and is licensed under the 2-clause BSD License.

It allows you to avoid the use of reStructuredText in docstrings, that make them more difficult to read. Instead, it enables support for legible, easy-to-read docstrings by using Google and/or NumPy-style docstrings. To achieve this, Napoleon first processes the docstrings and converts them to reStructuredText. However, reStructuredText will still be available for use while using Napoleon.

Every docstring (on modules, classes, attributes, methods, functions and variables) can be processed with Napoleon.
