mkdocstrings-python-legacy

mkdocstrings-python-legacy is a Python handler for the mkdocstrings documentation generator. It facilitates the automatic collection of documentation from Python source code, relying on `pytkdocs` for data extraction. The handler supports popular docstring styles like Google, Numpydoc, and reStructuredText. While actively maintained, receiving updates as recently as May 2025, it is considered a legacy component, and users are strongly advised to migrate to the newer `mkdocstrings-python` handler, which offers improved functionality based on Griffe.
