inline attribute comments are missing from output

[chadwhitacre]

Inline attribute doc-comments (#431) were implemented in a63230f and are in the Changelog under "Release 1.1 (Oct 9, 2011)." Over at readthedocs/readthedocs.org#632 we seem to be finding that under Sphinx 1.3.1 this feature has gone missing. Wherefore art thou, inline attribute comments?

Steps to Reproduce

1. create and activate a Python 2.7 virtualenv
2. pip install sphinx (current version is 1.3.1)
3. git clone https://github.com/gratipay/filesystem_tree.py.git
4. cd filesystem_tree
5. python setup.py install
6. cd docs
7. make html
8. cd _build/html
9. python -m SimpleHTTPServer
10. Browse to http://localhost:8000/

Expected Result

Documentation of these class attributes prior to the documentation for mk.

Actual Result

The class attributes are missing:

It seems your package is installed as egg package. As a result, autodoc failed to read the source code. I got following debug log:

[autodoc] module analyzer failed: source file is not present: '/usr/local/lib/python3.5/dist-packages/filesystem_tree-1.1.2.dev0-py3.5.egg/filesystem_tree.py'

Note: I used following Dockefile:

FROM tk0miya/sphinx-html

RUN git clone https://github.com/gratipay/filesystem_tree.py.git
WORKDIR /docs/filesystem_tree.py
RUN pip3 install -U pip setuptools
RUN python3 setup.py install
RUN make -C docs html SPHINXOPTS=-vvv

As a workaround, you can avoid it by pip install ..

I noticed this issue was already resolved in Sphinx-1.8 (refs: #5290 and #5392). I confirmed that new Sphinx surely generates a document for FilesystemTree.prefix from its comment.
Closing.
