RHBA-2011:0316 - epydoc bugfix update

Synopsis

epydoc bugfix update

Type/Severity

Bug Fix Advisory

Topic

An updated epydoc package that fixes a bug is now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.

Description

Epydoc is a tool for generating API documentation for Python modules, based on their docstrings. A lightweight markup language called epytext can be used to format docstrings, and to add information about specific fields, such as parameters and instance variables. Epydoc also understands docstrings written in ReStructuredText, Javadoc and plaintext.

This update fixes the following bug:

• Previously, the summary extractor of reStructuredText did not work properly and the documentation process failed. Due to this behavior, building packages could fail. This update resolves this problem. Packages now build successfully. (BZ#657567)

All users of epydoc are advised to upgrade to this updated package, which resolves this issue.
