• rlipython (optional dependency)

The prompt-toolkit and jupyter console installs in the Travis file are only required for the tests to pass. The test failures from the released versions are only due to issues with the test harness. The actual end-user functionality is fine.

rlipython is listed in setup.py under testing, but its also used in _interactive.py so I presume it is actually a requirement. Is that right?

[asmeurer]

I'd say it's an optional dependency. Pyflyby has tab completion integration with IPython, and rlipython is supported as well. Having it on conda would be nice though because it is required for the tests.

@asmeurer @ppwadhwa For docs we are replacing epydocs with sphinx, correct?

[asmeurer]

I don't know if we ever got clarification if this is what DEShaw wants to do.

re: sphinx, I'll ask on the shared slack channel.

[dharhas]

Actually, I think I'll raise an issue on the external channel and go from there...
