Using numpydoc allows aesthetically pleasing and easy to read documents to be created using Sphinx. You can see real examples of this with Numpy's own documentation (https://docs.scipy.org/doc/numpy-1.10.0/reference/generated/numpy.mean.html). This docs directory contains the basic file structure necessary for creating automated documentation based off NumPy styled Docstrings.

@nickstanisha I pushed the docs to the gh-pages branch. Any idea why some files are 404'ing despite being in the branch? http://tylertreat.github.io/BigQuery-Python/ |

@tylertreat I don't see any 404-ing casually browsing through the docs. Try adding a blank .nojekyll file at the top directory of your branch to prevent GitHub pages from processing the HTML with Jekyll. That should make everything behave like you'd expect. |

That did the trick, thanks! |

I've added a docs directory containing the necessary scripts and tools to make some simple automated documentation using Sphinx. I've also changed the docstrings to use the Numpy style so that the automated documentation can be presented in the nice format provided by Numpydoc. In addition to the nice formatting, Sphinx also provides tools for searching and browsing the documenation.
Moving forward, you could decide to follow these directions and host your documentation on Github directly, which I've done here: https://nickstanisha.github.io/BigQuery-Python/ by creating a gh-pages branch of my fork.
The content of the documentation stayed the same, the only change was the formatting. Additionally, no code was changed so all tests are still passing.
