API reference documents dunder methods

[swheaton]

don't want to document these

I wonder if there is a flag in pydoctor for this.
My sense is that this is not a blocker for release but also not something to ignore. Does that match you assessment?

[swheaton]

yeah, not a big deal. just clutter

Yes there is a flag to control object’s privacy: https://pydoctor.readthedocs.io/en/latest/customize.html#override-objects-privacy-show-hide :)

That's awesome - looks like it would be something similar to:

--privacy="PRIVATE:**.__*__" --privacy="PUBLIC:**.__init__" Makes all dunder methods private except __init__

You might also want to keep __new__ methods public as well since, if defined they’re treated as the constructor.
