Python: scrap full documentation (instead of library reference only) #696

ngrilly · 2017-10-20T15:20:06Z

Currently, DevDocs only scraps Python library reference rooted at https://docs.python.org/2/library/index.html.

It would be great to scrap the full documentation rooted at https://docs.python.org/2/.

I agree, the same for Python 3.
For example, the global keywork is only documented in the Language reference at https://docs.python.org/3/reference/simple_stmts.html#the-global-statement
I guess at least the /reference/ should be added.

Would changing

self.root_path = 'library/index.html'
options[:only_patterns] = [/\Alibrary\//]

by

options[:only_patterns] = [/\Alibrary\//, /\Areference\//]

or

self.root_path = 'index.html'
options[:only_patterns] = [/\Aindex\.html/, /\Alibrary\//, /\Areference\//]

This also means that the Python C API documentation isn't included, because it's under https://docs.python.org/3/c-api/
