There's my old doc.py. It produces the classical two frames
HTML output. Good for quick shot Python project documentation...

I've turned away from these tools though and now use a combination
doc-string extractor -> StarOffice import -> GhostScript PDF export 
to do documentation. This allows better hand-editing of the generated
output, since doc-strings usually don't suffice when it
comes to documenting code.
