sub classes appear as miscellaneous about autodocsumm HOT 5 CLOSED

Hi @maeddlae! Thanks again for your report! Could you please be a bit more explicit? Because I could not reproduce this problemDo I get you right, that if you have something like

class A:
    "Doc of A"
    pass

class B(A):
    "Doc of B"
    pass

in a file named test.py, then B appears under the miscellaneous section in

.. automodule:: test
    :autosummary:
    :members:

?

from autodocsumm.

Sorry for answering that late. I didn't see your question earlier. Here is an example:

class A():
    """
    Class A docstring
    """    
    class SubClassOfA():
        """
        Class SubClassOfA docstring
        """
    
        def __init__(self):
            """
            Init of class SubClassOfA
            """
            pass
        
    def __init__(self):
        """
        Init of class A
        """
        pass
    
    def met1(self):
        """
        Method 1 of class A
        """
        pass

The generated API then looks like this:

Hi @maeddlae! Thanks for the clarification 😄 As workaround, you can define your own grouper in conf.py, for example

def grouper(app, what, name, obj, section, parent):
    if isinstance(obj, type) and isinstance(parent, type):
        return "Class"

def setup(app):
    app.connect('autodocsumm-grouper', grouper)

However, we can also change the current behaviour of autodocsumm. Any suggestion, under which section the SubClassOfA should appear? Maybe Member classes?

Hmm, I would say just "Class" would be ok. But Python calls them "Inner Class" or "Nested Class", see https://pythonspot.com/inner-classes/.

Agreed. I just implemented the necessary changes in #17 which then closes this issue. Would you mind confirming that it fulfills the request?
