How to get sphinx to document a package's __init__.py file
<p>I have a package I would like to document with sphinx. The package consists of a few native modules (generated using boost-python) and an <code>__init__.py</code></p>

<p>The <code>__init__.py</code> does a bunch of (documented) monkey patching of the boost-python modules and provides a bunch of convenience functions.</p>

<p>I haven't been able to figure out how to tell sphinx to generate package level documentation based on the <code>__init__.py</code>. All I've found in my searching is how to get sphinx to generate documentation from a class <code>__init__</code> method, which is not what I'm after.</p>
