sphinxcontrib-packages 0.1.1

Sphinx directives to display the list of packages installed on the host machine

This sphinx extension provides some directives to see what tools are available on the compiling machine. I wrote this because I was developping a sphinx extension calling system commands, and I wanted to be able to use is on readthedocs, but I did not know which tools were available there: the official list of installed tools is pretty scarce…

What’s new?

See changelog.
