How to override constructor parameters in Sphinx with autodoc?

Question

Let\'s say I have a class like this:

class MyClass(object):
    \"\"\" Summary docs for my class.

    Extended documentation for my class.
    \"\"\"

    d         


        

Answer 1

I think that the best option for you is to do something like this:

.. automodule:: mymodule
    :members:
    :exclude-members: MyClass

    .. autoclass:: MyClass(first, second, third)

MyClass will have params overwritten and other members of mymodule will be autodocumented. You need to exclude MyClass using :exclude-members: because it will be included twice. I think it's the simplest solution at the moment.
