AI interpretation — verify before relying

AI-generated interpretation of the package facts above; every digit, version, license, or vulnerability id it cites is grounded in the facts already shown on this page

A Sphinx extension that generates Devhelp documentation output, enabling integration of Sphinx-built docs with the GNOME Devhelp documentation viewer.

Low friction installation with no runtime dependencies. Maintenance is dormant—745 days since last release—but the package remains functional and the repository is not archived.

Licensed under BSD (permissive), placing no restrictions on use, modification, or redistribution in proprietary or open-source projects.

Usage

pip install sphinxcontrib-devhelp==2.0.0

# In conf.py:
extensions = ['sphinxcontrib.devhelp']

Requires Python 3.9 or later; Sphinx must be installed separately as a build-time dependency.

Verdict: A stable, low-friction Sphinx extension with no known vulnerabilities and permissive licensing. Dormant maintenance (745 days since release) is acceptable for a narrow, mature tool; however, users should verify that Devhelp output remains compatible with their Sphinx version and target documentation platform.

Needs verification

Whether Devhelp format output remains compatible with current Devhelp viewer versions
Whether the extension works reliably with Sphinx versions released after July 2024
