How do I omit the values of variables on Sphinx?

Question

I have some module-level variables that have long and uninteresting values which I would like to exclude from auto-generated documentation. Is there a way to do this?

Two solutions I can think of:

• Use the monkey patch for truncating long variable values suggested in this answer: https://stackoverflow.com/a/25163963/407651.

• Document the module-level variable using autodata with the annotation option.
