New Python script to convert Python docstrings to Markdown files

A new Python script plainpydoc2md has been released.

This script reads one or more Python files and writes corresponding Markdown files containing their docstrings, formatted in a neat and readable form.

It is intended as a simple alternative to using tools like Sphinx, ReadTheDocs, or GitHub Pages, when the complexity and overhead of those tools is not justified.

The advantage of writing Markdown is that it can be viewed directly from a Github repository. Thus, Github can easily serve the documentation pages for a project, without setting up any extra systems.
