Just about everything in my documentation ends up with the namespace:: prefix in front of it. (where namespace is the name of my namespace)

Is there a way to have the documentation generated without the namespace part?

For example:

my_namespace::myclass::member

becomes:

myclass::member

It would make everything more readable.

Turns out the answer was simple: you have to set HIDE_SCOPE_NAMES to YES in the configuration file.

The only problem with this is that it also causes class scope names to be hidden, not just namespace scope names. In other words my_namespace::myclass::member becomes just member. This may not be a problem, but it can cause ambiguities especially when there are nested classes. For instance superclass::subclass becomes just subclass so there is no longer any indication in the documentation that subclass is nested within superclass.
True, but thankfully neither of those are problems with my project.
Does not work (changes nothing), at least with Python files (Doxygen sees Python modules as namespaces).
… does not work, with functions (forget to give this clarification)

I know this is old but if anyone comes looking again.

You can set SHOW_NAMESPACES to NO in configuration file.

It is also in DoxyWizard, Expert tab under Build topic.

This just disables the "Namespaces" page. From the documentation: Set the SHOW_NAMESPACES tag to NO to disable the generation of the Namespaces page.
