Description

epydoc doesn't work with Python 3 and the last version was released a decade ago, so I think it's safe to assume that it'll never be updated.

We need to choose a different tool and switch to it.

reStructuredText linter - https://github.com/twolfson/restructuredtext-lint

  • Consider using Sphinx and a linter to enforce a specific style.
  • pdoc3 (https://pdoc3.github.io/pdoc/) is simpler and more lightweight than sphinx and can also handle reST.
  • Consider using the built in pydoc and creating an internal docstring format for parameters, etc. This would be difficult to lint.
