sample_posterior_predictive appears to be missing on PyPi distribution

[minggli]

According to the docs, on https://docs.pymc.io/api/inference.html?highlight=sample_posterior_predictive, there is a sample_posterior_predictive method at package root level, but for 3.5.0 installed from PyPi, the method is missing in the code if I'm not wrong.

import pymc3 as pm
pm.__version__
pm.sample_posterior_predictive

'3.5'
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
AttributeError: module 'pymc3' has no attribute 'sample_posterior_predictive'

When cloning from master, it works fine.

Versions and main components

• PyMC3 Version: 3.5.0
• Theano Version: 1.0
• Python Version: 3.7.0
• Operating system: MacOS
• How did you install PyMC3: pip

Indeed, that seems to have not made it into the release for some reason. For now you can use sample_ppc which is the same, or install the current master branch, or wait for the next release.

@twiecki thanks. looking forward to next release.

By the way, I think you are going to a Bayesian Mixer meet up in London. hope to see you there.

@minggli Great, see you there!

@minggli I'm glad you mentioned this in a pub last night :)

@twiecki we're on v3.6 now, and sample_posterior_predictive is now released. We can close this 😄
