Re: sphinx is showing the django base views instead of my own views.py

Can you be clear what you are trying to do ?

Did you want your Sphinx Page to display an alternative Django
documentation - i.e. a module reference for Django ?

Or did you want your Sphinx Page to document your app  - if so the issue
is that your rst just calls for the views module - and that is the one
in sys.path (i.e. Django); if you want the views.py from your app - your
rst has to reference the full dotted path to the views module :

views module
==============

.. automodule:: site.app.views
    :members:
    :undoc-members:
    :show-inheritance:
