Ian Robertson created ARROW-2939:
------------------------------------
Summary: [Python] API documentation version doesn't match latest
on PyPI
Key: ARROW-2939
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARROW-2939
Project: Apache Arrow
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: Python
Reporter: Ian Robertson
Hey folks, apologies if this isn't the right place to raise this. In poking
around the web documentation (for pyarrow specifically), it looks like the
auto-generated API docs contain commits past the release of 0.9.0. For example:
*
[https://arrow.apache.org/docs/python/generated/pyarrow.Table.html#pyarrow.Table.column]
* Contains differences merged here: [https://github.com/apache/arrow/pull/1923]
* But latest pypi/conda versions of pyarrow are 0.9.0, which don't include
that change.
Not sure if the docs are auto-built off master somewhere, I couldn't find
anything about building docs in the docs itself. I would guess that you may
want some of the usage docs to be published in between releases if they're not
about new functionality, but the API reference being out of date can be
confusing. Is it possible to anchor the API docs to the latest released
version? Or even something like how Pandas has a whole bunch of old versions
still available? (e.g. [https://pandas.pydata.org/pandas-docs/stable/] vs. old
versions like [http://pandas.pydata.org/pandas-docs/version/0.17.0/])
