Sphinx Autodoc-skip-member Handler: Can't Show __init__() When Using Napoleon

I want to include the docstrings for __init__() in my sphinx-generated documentation. I was following the accepted answer to this stackoverflow question to add a handler for autodo

Solution 1:

Napoleon defers to your autodoc configuration for how you want to handle the __init__ method.

Check your autodoc settings in conf.py. In particular, make sure autoclass_content is set to either init or both.

Solution 2:

Per Rob's followon at https://github.com/sphinx-doc/sphinx/issues/2374, if you're using any extension that also sets a handler for the "autodoc-skip-member" event only one of the handlers will be used. This would seem to be the issue at hand. Thanks Rob!
