5 Best Static Site Generators in Python
Sphinx is primarily known as a documentation generator, but it can also be used to create static websites. It excels in generating technical documentation, and its support for multiple output formats, including HTML and PDF, makes it a versatile tool. Sphinx uses reStructuredText for content creation and is highly extensible through plugins.

User Guides in Code Documentation: Empowering Users with Usage Instructions
Sphinx a documentation generator or a tool that translates a set of plain text source files into various output formats, automatically producing cross-references, indices, etc. That is, if you have a directory containing a bunch of reStructuredText or Markdown documents, Sphinx can generate a series of HTML files, a PDF file (via LaTeX), man pages and much more.

MdBook – Create book from Markdown files. Like Gitbook but implemented in Rust
Notable mentions to [Sphinx](https://www.sphinx-doc.org/). It's workflow is more tuned to the "book" format rather than the blog, forum or thread format.

Introducing AutoPyTabs: Automatically generate code examples for different Python versions in MkDocs or Sphinx based documentations
AutoPyTabs allows you to write code examples in your documentation targeting a single version of Python and then generates examples targeting higher Python versions on the fly, presenting them in tabs, using popular tabs extensions. This all comes packaged as a markdown extension, MkDocs plugin and a Sphinx, so it can easily be integrated with your documentation workflow.

dictf - An extended Python dict implementation that supports multiple key selection with a pretty syntax.
Honestly, I think it's just an issue of documentation. For example, if there was an easier way to document @overload functions, that would help (cf. https://github.com/sphinx-doc/sphinx/issues/7787)

Sphinx is the go-to tool for documentation. It took me a while to understand how to use Sphinx, but I now have a decent workflow with MyST which allows me to write all the docs in markdown. My sphinx-markdown-docs repo shows an example of what I do.
