Generating API documentation as a textfile

[Samuel]

Does anyone know an easy way to extract the API documentation that is
embedded into a Python file as a text file?

Something like this?

print >> open('file.txt', 'w'), dir.__doc__

 

[Samuel]

dir.__doc__

This contains only the docstring one object (module, class,
function, ...). I was thinking more of the complete API documentation
that can be found in a file, and formatted in a readable way.

Sounds like you want pydoc.
