astropy_helpers todo list

Question

embray opened this issue 11 years ago · comments

For my own use, a todo list on astropy_helpers based on the last telecon discussion on the topic:

Move Sphinx extensions from astropy to astropy_helpers
Add --offline flag recognized by ah_bootstrap to force disabling of downloads
When going to download from the internet, issue a warning message informing the user of the --offline option
~~Add a custom sdist and extension to bdist commands to include astropy_helpers in distributions (it would not be included by default)~~
In cases where astropy-helpers was bundled with a source distribution, add the option to automatically use a newer (compatible) version of astropy-helpers than the bundled one if available (this way bug fixes can be pushed out, etc.)
Add setup.py test command to astropy_helpers, but with the provision that it requires astropy itself to be installed in order to fully function
Per the APE draft, a _compiler module template should be provided.
Discussion the rationale for the above points in the APE

astropy.sphinx ported to astropy_helpers.sphinx as of a129486, with Astropy seemingly using it successfully for its doc builds.

This is all basically done. We decided to punt on the sdist issue for now.
