math_role and MathDirective in sphinx 1.8?

[paugier]

I use

from sphinx.ext.mathbase import MathDirective, math_role

in https://bitbucket.org/fluiddyn/fluiddyn/src/default/fluiddoc/mathmacro.py

Both names have been removed from the mathbase module in sphinx 1.8.

I managed to find that MathDirective is now in sphinx.directives.patches.

math_role has been removed in 4e04bff (by @tk0miya )

I didn't find anything in the documentation on why these class/function have been removed.

Can I still do something like what is done in https://bitbucket.org/fluiddyn/fluiddyn/src/default/fluiddoc/mathmacro.py with sphinx 1.8 ?

Oh, sorry. It was not intended change. I'll re-add them to keep compatibility.

I didn't find anything in the documentation on why these class/function have been removed.

As the commit message of 4e04bff, math directive and role are moved to core package. So they were merged to core. The math directive was moved sphinx.directives.patches. On the other hand, the math role was removed because we uses docutils' implementation.

Fixed by #5464.
But they will be removed in Sphinx-3.0.
So please move to new ones until then.

Thanks,
