#9758 — Question about binary sphinx inventory files

Hi,

I believe that a small number of Python module doc packages use
binary Sphinx inventory (.inv) files during build, that are just
downloaded from python.org by the package maintainer. I don't
know anything about Sphinx nor how to encode/decode .inv files.
https://pypi.python.org/pypi/sphobjinv is not in Debian, is it?
How would I create e.g. https://docs.python.org/objects.inv
from which sources?

TIA & Cheers

In the case of Python's documentation inventory specifically, this is built
and distributed in the python*-doc packages, and there should be no need to
download it from python.org.

Thanks! I use the packaged file now in python-simpy3.
AFAIK, only python-numpy still uses a downloaded .inv.

The .inv files are generated by Sphinx during normal HTML build.

In case of https://docs.python.org/objects.inv, you do not need to
regenerate it yourself. You should just depend on python3-doc and
point Sphinx to /usr/share/doc/python3/html/objects.inv.

Here you can find examples of how other packages do it:

I should use codesearch more often :~)
And "searx" should have a backend for it!
