This is a static archive of the Python wiki, which was retired in February 2026 due to lack of usage and the resources necessary to serve it — predominately to bots, crawlers, and LLM companies.
Pages are preserved as they were at the time of archival. For current information, please visit python.org.
If a change to this archive is absolutely needed, requests can be made via the infrastructure@python.org mailing list.

"doctools" is the informal name of the Python documentation toolset. New version of this toolset is better known as Sphinx. It uses DocUtils, reStructuredText as markup language and builds HTML and other formats out of that.

Sphinx can be found in Mercurial repository at http://www.bitbucket.org/birkenfeld/sphinx/
Former doctools are located in Subversion at http://svn.python.org/projects/doctools
