Include specific special-methods in sphinx

Question

I have a bunch of classes which use \"special-methods\":

class Foo(object):
   \"Foo docstring\"

   attr1 = \"Attribute!\" #: first attribute
   attr2 = \"Anoth         


        

Answer 1

What worked for me is adding the ".. automethod:: methodName"

directive in the docstring of the class, instead of doing it in the .rst file.

So, you can change "Foo docstring" to

"""
Foo docstring

.. automethod:: __contains__
"""
