Sphinx on Pythonista?
-
I would to run the excellent documentation tool Sphinx on Pythonista. Is there any chance to do that?
-
@upwart , I cant help but still want to comment. Sphinx looks nice, just had a quick look. I tried to install it with StaSh, but seems to fail on the setup.py. But the import sphinx statement works afterwards. But I have no idea what state its left in.
The reason, I wanted to comment was to ask the community if they know of tools that can look at a github repo/pypi entry and determine if project and its dependencies are pure Python? Or i guess more ideally give a list of dependencies that are not pure Python. As Pythonista may already have some of the non pure Libs.
This would give us a way to be able to answer these questions ourselves.

I think that Ole already mentioned it somewhere in this forum, can't find it. But I can imagine that there will be community driven PyPI Server which can act as a proxy for real PyPI with one simple goal - whitelist (or blacklist) packages for Pythonista. I think it has no sense to run another PyPI server with ability to store packages. We only need to tell the user - hey, this one is unsupported / untested in Pythonista. So the StaSh pip can use this server, which can add some attribute(s) to JSON in responses and StaSh can abort installation.
-fcan be added topipto install this package anyway. In this way, we can whitelist / blacklist packages and all other traffic will still be routed via PyPI. -
@zrzka, ok sounds great. But as much as I like to be helpful, my technical ability limits me. Example, the whitelist/blacklist sounds like a great idea. Also if you could view it independently from StaSh. But I would not feel comfortable making an entry (well other than a few simple ones I know about). So again the work falls on to the few that have the expertise to make these determinations.
So its all well and good for me to say this great. But I am still standing on the sidelines not contributing. Again, which is not my intent, but thats the nett result. -
Maybe have the white/blacklist on the Pythonista-Tools repo, which already has a community of moderators and can take updates as issues or PRs from everyone.

I think that some kind of PyPI repo (or whatever) needs to be managed by Ole with community help. IOW, must be officially supported by Ole. I don't think people will read Pythonista Tools repo to find compatible packages. If we have
pipin StaSh, it must be done viapip. -
@zrzka, sorry, what I meant was that if there is a pip proxy, the black/white lists could be managed via Pythonista-Tools. And I am not sure why it would need more than stash in terms of Ole's support.
-
Basically it doesn't need more than StaSh from Ole. But if Ole provides something like PyPI in the future, it will be kind of time wasting activity. Maybe better wording - some coordination from Ole would be welcomed :)
