Let's say I have two files foo.py and __init__.py in directory src. The files look something like this (the actual files that I have a much more complicated but not relevant to the problem).
foo.py file:
class Foo:
""" Very long description of the class"""
pass
__init__.py file:
from .foo import Foo as Foo2
Additional doc.rst file for documentation generation:
.. autoclass:: Foo2
Now, when I use Sphinx Autodoc to generate the documentation for Foo2, it shows "alias of foo".
Is it possible to override this and show "Very long description of the class" instead? I have dozens of classes for which I would like to show the source description rather than just "alias of xyz".
