使用 autodoc 时，Sphinx 找不到 Python 包

Question

I'm trying to create documentation for test Python project before doing it for the real project. My system : Win7 64 bit, python 2.7.5 64 bit.

My project name is testDoc . It includes python pakage, named t , which includes 2 modules t1 and t2 and __init__.py .

__init__.py contains:

import t1
import t2

t1.py contains:

'''
Created on 27  2013

@author: 
'''

class MyClass(object):
    '''
    Hi
    '''


    def __init__(self,selfparams):
        '''
        Constructor
        '''
        pass

To create docs I run in the command line in testDoc :

sphinx-apidoc -A "me" -F -o docs .

Sphinx creates many files and it's ok according to Sphinx docs. Then, conf.py is modified

sys.path.insert(0, os.path.abspath(absolute path to testDoc))

I enter docs folder and type

make html

and get the following erroneous output:

What's wrong? Thanks.

I don't know what the "absolute path to testDoc" is, but from the Sphinx output I can see that the testDoc directory structure is testDoc/t/docs . The docs directory is where conf.py is.

For the module search path to be set up properly, you need to go two levels up from conf.py :

sys.path.insert(0, os.path.abspath("../.."))
