I would like to add to the existing documentation rst files some ""automatically"" generated API documentation. In order to do this I have added a file called : api.rst which look like this : http://dpaste.com/58306/ when I run the this command: {{{ sphinx-build -a -b html . _build }}} I get this error message : {{{ Exception occurred:[ 20%] api File ""/usr/lib/python2.6/django/contrib/gis/db/models/proxy.py"", line 27, in __get__ geom_value = obj.__dict__[self._field.attname] AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute '__dict__' The full traceback has been saved in /tmp/sphinx-err-k0o7j2.log, if you want to report the issue to the author. }}} Changing the line 27 from : {{{ geom_value = obj.__dict__[self._field.attname] }}} to : {{{ try: geom_value = obj.__dict__[self._field.attname] except: geom_value = None }}} seems to fix this issue. After this modification I can use autodoc however I am not sure if this is not breaking something else or only hiding the problem. ps : I have described this behavior on this post [2] [1] https://code.launchpad.net/~yml/django-geotagging/geotags/+merges [2]http://groups.google.com/group/sphinx-dev/browse_thread/thread/7f0e83b3a2775d4" closed GIS 1.0 worksforme Accepted 1 0 0
