epydoc (3.0.1+dfsg-16) unstable; urgency=medium

  If possible, please consider moving away from the use of Epydoc.  Epydoc is
  basically unmaintained upstream.  Also, it is only supported for Python 2,
  so it will reach its end of life along with Python 2 sometime in 2020.

  I will continue to maintain the Epydoc packages in Debian as long as I can,
  acting as de facto upstream.  However, once Python 2 is unsupported in
  Debian, I'm not sure that we'll have too many options to keep it alive.
  Migrating it to Python 3 is a fairly large job that I don't have the time or
  the expertise to take on right now.

  For my own Python code, I have recently converted to Sphinx using the
  Napolean plugin.  At [1], I can offer you a hack-ish script to convert
  common Epydoc markup to Google-style docstrings. It's not perfect, but it
  would get you much of the way toward working code.
