"""Script to generate a list of all modules to use in autosummary.
 
This script creates a ReStructured Text file for each public module in the
protobuf Python package. The script also updates the table of contents in
``docs/index.rst`` to point to these module references.
 
To build the docs with Sphinx:
 
1. Install the needed packages (``sphinx``, ``sphinxcontrib-napoleon`` for
   Google-style docstring support). I've created a conda environment file to
   make this easier:
 
.. code:: bash
 
   conda env create -f python/docs/environment.yml
 
2. (Optional) Generate reference docs files and regenerate index:
 
.. code:: bash
 
   cd python/docs
   python generate_docs.py
 
3. Run Sphinx.
 
.. code:: bash
 
   make html
