"""Attempt to generate templates for module reference with Sphinx

XXX - we exclude extension modules

To include extension modules, first identify them as valid in the
``_uri2path`` method, then handle them in the ``_parse_module`` script.

We get functions and classes by parsing the text of .py files.
Alternatively we could import the modules for discovery, and we'd have
to do that for extension modules.  This would involve changing the
``_parse_module`` method to work via import and introspection, and
might involve changing ``discover_modules`` (which determines which
files are modules, and therefore which module URIs will be passed to
``_parse_module``).

NOTE: this is a modified version of a script originally shipped with the
PyMVPA project, which we've adapted for NIPY use.  PyMVPA is an MIT-licensed
project."""
