How do I stop the "Index" and "Python Module Index" from appearing using sphinx autodoc?

Question

I'm using sphinx autodoc for retrieving class and module docstrings.

When I use autodoc sphinx automatically generates an ugly page called Python Module Index.

I can only disable this page if I add :noindex: to every single autoclass and automodule.

Question: Is there a way to globally insert :noindex into these ReStructured Text directives?

You should be able to remove this under index.rst. See if there is a line:

* :ref:`modindex`
