Comment #3 on issue 1685 by pekka.klarck: distutils/setuptools integration
http://code.google.com/p/robotframework/issues/detail?id=1685
Do I get it right that if above changes are applied and Robot installed,
you just need to add
[build_rf_docs]
libraries = "OneLibrary TwoLibrary"
to your setup.cfg and library docs are generated if you run your own
setup.py like
python setup.py build_rf_docs
That sounds pretty neat and the code doesn't look too complicated either. I
have few question/concerns about this, though:
1) Are entry points a setuptools feature? Robot's setup.py currently
doesn't use setuptools (unless you use 'develop' mode) and I'm worried
requiring it would be problematic for Jython and IronPython compatibility.
Obviously entry points could be enabled conditionally, but I don't like
making setup.py too dynamic and complicated.
2) This feature should be documented somewhere. Most likely we could add a
section to Libdoc's docs in User Guide, but I'm slightly worried would
anyone find it from there.
One way to resolve the above issues would be releasing this functionality
as a separate pip-installable project. That would also have a benefit that
this tool could be enhanced separately from Robot. What do you think about
that? Would you be interested in creating such a project?
