Consider adding doxygen for python

[PlasmaHH]

Documentation standard
According to e.g. https://www.woolseyworkshop.com/2020/06/25/documenting-python-programs-with-doxygen/ doxygen supports its syntax in python docstrings ( where applicable ).

It's not the most popular style, but in cases where you have multiple languages, something like doxygen that supports all of them might be useful ( we started using python in such an environment and currently experimenting with doxygen support, so I can't give much examples of how it would look like )

Maybe every supported language should have a doxygen compatible documentation standard available?

How popular is the doc standard?

• Not popular at all
• Some people use it
• Quite a lot of people use it
• It's not the most popular one, but a good alternative
• Everyone is using it

Hi,

Doxygen is mentioned indeed online by a small subset of people who work together with some C/C++ projects, so I approve this request. I've already implemented it in #640 and will release it in the next version, which I'll do today.
