Documentation on the authoring Python documentation, including information about
both style and markup, is available in the "Documenting Python" chapter of the
developers guide (http://docs.python.org/devguide/documenting.html).
There's also a chapter intended to point out differences to

Building the docs
=================
You need to have Python 2.4 or higher installed; the toolset used to build the
docs is written in Python. It is called *Sphinx*, it is not included in this
tree, but maintained separately. Also needed are the docutils, supplying the
base markup that Sphinx uses, Jinja, a templating engine, and optionally
Pygments, a code highlighter.
