By virtue of its name, the pyb module would only be available on a pyboard and so does not need to have conditional "only" directives throughout its documentation. These conditionals were added mostly incfcf47c064
in the initial development of the cc3200 port, which had the pyb module before it switched to the machine module. And wipy only conditionals were removed from the pyb module documentation in4542643025
, so there's no need to retain any more conditionals.
MicroPython Documentation
The MicroPython documentation can be found at: http://docs.micropython.org/en/latest/
The documentation you see there is generated from the files in the docs tree: https://github.com/micropython/micropython/tree/master/docs
Building the documentation locally
If you're making changes to the documentation, you may want to build the documentation locally so that you can preview your changes.
Install Sphinx, and optionally (for the RTD-styling), sphinx_rtd_theme, preferably in a virtualenv:
pip install sphinx
pip install sphinx_rtd_theme
In micropython/docs
, build the docs:
make MICROPY_PORT=<port_name> html
Where <port_name>
can be unix
, pyboard
, wipy
or esp8266
.
You'll find the index page at micropython/docs/build/<port_name>/html/index.html
.
PDF manual generation
This can be achieved with:
make MICROPY_PORT=<port_name> latexpdf
but require rather complete install of LaTeX with various extensions. On Debian/Ubuntu, try (500MB+ download):
apt-get install texlive-latex-recommended texlive-latex-extra
