Usage:

For HTML generation
-------------------
- Run this script from blenders root path once you have compiled blender

    ./blender.bin -b -P doc/python_api/sphinx_doc_gen.py

  This will generate python files in doc/python_api/sphinx-in/,
  assuming that ./blender.bin is or links to the blender executable

- Generate html docs by running...
    
    sphinx-build doc/python_api/sphinx-in doc/python_api/sphinx-out

  assuming that you have sphinx 0.6.7 installed
  
For PDF generation
------------------
- After you have built doc/python_api/sphinx-in (see above), run:

    sphinx-build -b latex doc/python_api/sphinx-in doc/python_api/sphinx-out
    cd doc/python_api/sphinx-out
    make
