 ah, brilliant.  actually the doxygen or epydoc conversion isn't so
critical, it's actually having the class comments there *at all*
that's important.  typically i will do "import pcbnew" then this:
 for x in pcbnew:
     print x.__name__, x.__doc__

and... uh.... pcbnew just comes up with sweet f.a. :)  it's then an
absolute bitch trying to hunt down the API.  luckily because i know it
came from the c++ / swig bindings, *i* know to go look up the c++
code... but other people who do not have a mixed programming training
/ background will be absolutely clueless.

so... yeah - awesome!
