Hi Steven, sorry but my explanation was too short. Shogun is using doxygen to build the documentation that is arch indep and in addition to that it embeds the doxygen documentation into the python module(s) such that you can type e.g.
import modshogun help(modshogun.Kernel) and get all the methods documented/annotated. This probably could be done without graphviz/tex but I didn't try that.
