Not all classes are indexed twice, e.g., the FiniteElement is only
defined in dolfin.cpp.
What part is it that you find confusing?
The dolfin.cpp.FunctionSpace and
dolfin.functions.functionspace.FunctionSpace are two
different classes so there should be two entries.
The FunctionSpace class from dolfin.functions is picked up because
FunctionSpace is included in the __all__ variable
in dolfin.functions.__init__.py.
So perhaps we could skip extracting functions and classes from
__init__.py files, and just hope that no one actually defines a class
or a function in these files?

Title:
  Classes are indexed twice in Python Programmer's Reference

Status in DOLFIN:
  New

Bug description:
  
  Python classes are indexed (at least) twice in the Python Programmer's Reference, for instance the index points to the class FunctionSpace in both dolfin.functions and dolfin.functions.functionspace:

    FunctionSpace (class in dolfin.cpp)

        (class in dolfin.functions)
        (class in dolfin.functions.functionspace) 

  Is this intended? If so, it is confusing.
