It executes each script, captures outputs (including plots from Matplotlib and related packages), and generates formatted gallery pages with the code, results, and narrative text from docstrings or accompanying README files.\n\nYou configure it in your Sphinx conf.py by specifying the source directory of example scripts and the output directory for generated gallery files. Sphinx-Gallery then handles execution, output capture, and reST file generation during your normal Sphinx build. It's designed for library documentation but can also serve as a standalone showcase for a Python package or module.","worth_installing":"Yes. Sphinx-Gallery is a mature, actively maintained tool with low install friction and no known vulnerabilities. It solves a concrete problem\u2014turning Python scripts into documented, executable galleries\u2014and is widely adopted by major projects. Install it if you need to showcase runnable examples in Sphinx documentation."},"id":"sphinx-gallery","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/sphinx-gallery","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/sphinx-gallery.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/sphinx-gallery/"},"maintenance":{"status":"active"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2026-04-24","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"sphinx-gallery","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"A Sphinx extension that builds an HTML gallery of examples from any set of Python scripts."},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":650798,"position":5556,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"0.21.0"}
