fix: handle Sphinx 9.x new autodoc options key format and sentinels - #688
Merged
Conversation
Sphinx 9.x's new non-legacy autodoc uses underscored keys (e.g., `exclude_members`) and the `EMPTY` sentinel instead of hyphenated keys (`exclude-members`) and the `ALL` sentinel used by older Sphinx. This caused `:exclude-members:` to be silently ignored by numpydoc, producing spurious `py:obj reference target not found` warnings for excluded inherited members in nitpicky mode. - Update `ClassDoc.__init__` to check both `exclude_members` and `exclude-members` keys, and normalize `EMPTY` to `ALL` - Update `mangle_docstrings` to use `vars()` instead of the deprecated Mapping interface for `_AutoDocumenterOptions` Closes numpy#671
