It's a private project (for the moment at least - if only because the
documentation is so poor!).

epydoc --debug --output auto-doc/  npyscreen/

(npyscreen is the name of the package)

Yes, there is.  I assume that the error is being caused by the fact that the
__init__.py file for the package does things like the following to
expose an API:

from ActionForm import ActionForm

--introspect-only fails with the same error

--parse-only works perfectly, and doesn't give the warnings above.
Instead I get the output I've printed below (minor warnings).

Best wishes,
