CPython Documentation
CPython documentation is in reStructuredText (ReST) format in the Doc/ tree.
Documentation Tooling
# Set up documentation build environment
make -C Doc venv
# Validate documentation (run this to check your changes)
make -C Doc check
# Build HTML documentation (if full build is needed)
make -C Doc html
Version Markers
IMPORTANT: When adding versionadded::, versionchanged::, or similar markers in documentation, always use next as the version "number". The doc build and release process fills this in appropriately.
.. versionadded:: next
.. versionchanged:: next
Description of what changed.
NEWS Entries
Bug fixes and new features require a Misc/NEWS.d/next/ file entry.
IMPORTANT: The filename MUST refer to the correct GitHub Issue number in the upstream python/cpython repository. Do not pick a number on your own! Ask the user what issue number to use.
Example filename format: Misc/NEWS.d/next/<category>/<YYYY-MM-DD-HH-MM-SS>.gh-issue-<NUMBER>.<UNIQUE_ID>.rst
