Since this is not a good idea to store these credentials into rst code, I thought of putting them in a separate settings file: ~/sphinxcontrib.

Most extensions I've seen use the sphinx project-level conf.py for these sort of settings. If you can use the conf.py config object, that might be a better idea than a home directory folder. -- --Max Battcher-- http://www.worldmaker.net/ -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "sphinx-dev" group.
