The primary purpose of this commit is to make decompress default to wbits=15 when the format is gzip (or auto format with gzip detected). The idea is that someone decompressing a gzip stream should be able to use the default `deflate.DeflateIO(f)` and it will "just work" for any input stream, even though it uses a lot of memory. This is done by making uzlib report gzip files as having wbits set to 15 in their header (where it previously only set the wbits out parameter for zlib files), and then fixing up the logic in `deflateio_init_read`. Updates the documentation to match. This work was funded through GitHub Sponsors. Signed-off-by: Jim Mussared <jim.mussared@gmail.com>
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 html
You'll find the index page at micropython/docs/build/html/index.html.
Having readthedocs.org build the documentation
If you would like to have docs for forks/branches hosted on GitHub, GitLab or BitBucket an alternative to building the docs locally is to sign up for a free https://readthedocs.org account. The rough steps to follow are:
- sign-up for an account, unless you already have one
- in your account settings: add GitHub as a connected service (assuming you have forked this repo on github)
- in your account projects: import your forked/cloned micropython repository into readthedocs
- in the project's versions: add the branches you are developing on or for which you'd like readthedocs to auto-generate docs whenever you push a change
PDF manual generation
This can be achieved with:
make latexpdf
but requires a rather complete install of LaTeX with various extensions. On Debian/Ubuntu, try (1GB+ download):
apt install texlive-latex-recommended texlive-latex-extra texlive-xetex texlive-fonts-extra cm-super xindy
