Thank you :)

Yes, I wanted to write a post yesterday, but ran out of time. I'll write an
update today.

I used both Sphinx for Python and Doxygen for C++, but never Doxygen for
Python.
I don't think there should be any problems converting, though.
If you think it should be consistent with the rest of DUNE I'll change it
right away.
I don't really have an opinion here, I think Sphinx is better suited for
python
(it has an easy syntax for argument types, for example), but I can still
switch.

Yes, I agree. I must confess I'm still not entirely familiar with
autotools,
so I didn't make it optional yet, but it's definitely on my to-do list.

By the way, do you do the same with Doxygen-generated documentation,
or is Doxygen required?

No, it's because I haven't included the CMake files yet.

I'm still a little curious about this dual-buildsystem thing you have.
As I understand it DUNE can be built either with autotools or CMake.
I have plenty of experience with CMake, as I worked with KDE before,
so this is definitely my favored choice. But I still have to support
both toolchains, right?
