 * PyDoc, http://pydoc.org/ documentation browser (in HTML) and/or an off-line reference manual. Also in the standard library as [[http://docs.python.org/lib/module-pydoc.html|pydoc]]

 * PyDoc, http://web.pydoc.org/
 * PythonDoc - uses ReStructuredText input format, and can produce HTML and XML output. It uses XML as an intermediate representation, to simplify the addition of new output formats. http://starship.python.net/crew/danilo/pythondoc/
 * ["Crystal"] - produces output that is similar to JavaDoc.
 * EasyDoc - uses an HTML-like markup language, similar to the language used by JavaDoc; and produces HTML output (http://htmltmpl.sourceforge.net/easydoc.html)
 * ["Teud"], http://twistedmatrix.com/users/jh.twistd/python/moin.cgi/TeudProject
 * PythonDoc - uses StructuredText input format (''not'' reST), and can produce HTML and XML output. It uses XML as an intermediate representation, to simplify the addition of new output formats. http://starship.python.net/crew/danilo/pythondoc/
 * Another PythonDoc - uses JavaDoc-style comments, and produces HTML and XML output. Can also be used as a library, producing ElementTree descriptions of your source code. http://effbot.org/zone/pythondoc.htm
 * [[Crystal]] - produces output that is similar to Wiki:JavaDoc.
 * EasyDoc - uses an HTML-like markup language, similar to the language used by Wiki:JavaDoc; and produces HTML output (http://htmltmpl.sourceforge.net/easydoc.html)
 * [[Teud]], EfnetPythonWiki:TeudProject
 * Doxygen < http://www.doxygen.org > can create documentation in various formats (HTML, LaTeX, PDF, ...) and you can include formulas in your documentation (great for technical/mathematical software). Together with Graphviz < http://www.research.att.com/sw/tools/graphviz/ > it can create diagrams of your code (inhertance diagram, call graph, ...). Another benefit is that it handles not only Python, but also several other programming languages like C, C++, Java, etc.
 * Pudge, http://pudge.lesscode.org/
 * Endo, part of the Enthought Tool Suite (http://code.enthought.com/ets/), is aware of Traits-based attributes (Traits is also part of ETS); uses ReStructuredText or plain text in docstrings and in plain comments that immediately precede variable assignments; and generates HTML output.
