The solution that works for Sphinx is to prefix the reference with ~
.
Per the Sphinx documentation on Cross-referencing Syntax,
If you prefix the content with
~
, the link text will only be the last component of the target. For example,:py:meth:`~Queue.Queue.get`
will refer toQueue.Queue.get
but only displayget
as the link text.
So the answer is:
class MyClass():
def foo(self):
print 'foo'
def bar(self):
"""This method does the same as :func:`~mymodule.MyClass.foo`"""
print 'foo'
This results in an HTML looking like this : This method does the same as foo()
, and foo()
is a link.
However, note that this may not display in Spyder as a link.
