Description

It would be helpful to Pi^2's python developers if the python bindings generated for the llvm backend had documentation associated with them. Obviously complete documentation is dependent on annotating the methods with appropriate information, but the bare skeleton of the information ought to be generatable automatically.

We would like to look into how this can be done and then published somewhere online automatically, perhaps at a github.io page.

Research direction

Start by examining how the LLVM backend's generated Python bindings are produced and how Sphinx could consume them. Define an automated path to publish the generated documentation, potentially as a GitHub Pages site; done means a bare documentation skeleton is generated and published online.
