I have a set of python scripts that I would like to create manpages for. They are documented with docstrings, so I can get at the documentation that way, but I would also like to have manpages.
Is there a way to use pydoc to generate *roff sources for manpages?
edit: Something like perl's pod2man for python.
pydoc is not generating manpages, just showing docs in a form of man page:
...in a style similar to the manual pages shown by the Unix man command...
You can save it by:
pydoc sys >sys-docs.txt
or with terminal "colours" (use less
to render them):
PAGER="cat>sys-docs.txt" pydoc sys
