Code please, see code is less controversial than PEPs...

some code can be found via this link:

the pythondoc parser can handle all modules in the xmltoys kit, but it hasn't been tested with much external code. out- puts both (preliminary, rather simple-minded) XML and a truly minimalistic HTML variant.

requires Python 2.2 at the moment; haven't tested it under Jython yet.

see TODO entries in xmltoys/PythonDoc for a list of known issues.
