#!/usr/bin/env python """ "**Pycco**" is a Python port of [Docco](http://jashkenas.github.com/docco/): the original quick-and-dirty, hundred-line-long, literate-programming-style documentation generator. It produces HTML that displays your comments alongside your code. Comments are passed through [Markdown](http://daringfireball.net/projects/markdown/syntax) and [SmartyPants](http://daringfireball.net/projects/smartypants), while code is passed through [Pygments](http://pygments.org/) for syntax highlighting. This page is the result of running Pycco against its own source file. If you install Pycco, you can run it from the command-line: pycco src/*.py This will generate linked HTML documentation for the named source files, saving it into a `docs` folder by default. The [source for Pycco](https://github.com/fitzgen/pycco) is available on GitHub, and released under the MIT license. To install Pycco, simply pip install pycco Or, to install the latest source git clone git://github.com/fitzgen/pycco.git cd pycco python setup.py install """ # === Main Documentation Generation Functions === def generate_documentation(source, outdir=None, preserve_paths=True, language=None): """ Generate the documentation for a source file by reading it in, splitting it up into comment/code sections, highlighting them for the appropriate language, and merging them into an HTML template.
