i am only vaguely remembering here, but iirc that helps you generate
something rather like python's own documentation for classes.  it's
nothing like as complete as epydoc.  i was in the same situation and ended
up using both.  you can link back + forth without too much bother.  it's a
bit of an aesthetic shock (to put it politely) going from sphinx to
epydoc, but it's a lot more useful for someone who wants to see source
etc.
