I want to use Sphinx so it can automatically generate a pydoc for my python code but I'm getting an error. What an I doing wrong?
conf.py sphinx config file
import sys
import os
from django.conf import settings
os.environ['DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE'] = '../cloud_server.settings'
sys.path.insert(0, os.path.abspath('../cloud_server/cloud_api'))
views.py django file
from django.contrib.auth.models import User, Group
from rest_framework import viewsets
from cloud_api.serializers import UserSerializer, GroupSerializer
class UserViewSet(viewsets.ModelViewSet):
"""
API endpoint that allows users to be viewed or edited.
"""
queryset = User.objects.all()
serializer_class = UserSerializer
class GroupViewSet(viewsets.ModelViewSet):
"""
API endpoint that allows users to be viewed or edited.
"""
queryset = Group.objects.all()
serializer_class = GroupSerializer
Typeerror error thrown when I'm trying to make the html file.

I came to this question via Google, so I'll answer what helped me (not directly related to the question).
I use importlib
to dynamically import sub-packages given by a string.
import importlib
module_name = 'subpackage.i.import'
special_module = importlib.import_module(module_name, package=None)
This simply has to be adjusted to
import importlib
module_name = 'subpackage.i.import'
special_module = importlib.import_module(module_name, package='my_current_pkg')
