#readthedocs

I have a project using Sphinx's autodoc that relies on PySDL2. I have this in my requirements file, but it also requires that SDL2 is available (PySDL2 uses ctypes). Any thoughts on how to get this to work on RTD?

Moguri: mock it out per the FAQ

Wraithan: Yup, just found the FAQ entry.

I'm testing it out now. :)

Awesome, on mobile or I would have linked it

Although, it will make the docs not as great since I was relying on some docstrings from pysdl2 (based on inheritence).

But, I can just rework my docs a bit.

It's better than not having any docs. =/

Moguri: our build system in the future may get more flexible, but for now we can't just install every single lib/version that people need unfortunately

Yeah, I understand that.

I'll probably just provide a link to the pysdl2 docs.

Or just not worry about it for now.

That seems pretty reasonable

Wraithan: Thanks, it appears to be working. :)

Moguri: the sphinx.ext.extlinks extension is nice for linking the sphinx docs of other projects

jodal: Thanks, I'll make sure to check it out. :)

Moguri: sorry, meant intersphinx, not extlinks

howdy. I was trying to get my project (exaile) working in RTD, but the build has failed. the outcome shows status code 0 (failed), and the sphinx standard output shows zero output. anyone here who might know how to resolve this?

.. granted, our docs are terrible and need to be updated, but it does build locally for me.
