doxygen syntax in python

Question

Can somebody please help me to figure out how to comment python code correctly to get parsed by doxygen?

Somehow it ignores the tags. The output (HTML) shows the tags:<

Answer 1

For doxygen to recognize the special commands in Python comments you have to use the following comment form:

class Hello: 
    ## \brief Short description.
    # Longer description. 
    # \param self
    # \param name
    def __init__(self, name):         
        dosomething(12)

    def dosomething(x):         
        dosomethingelse
