Peculiar Module/Class Structure causes Build-Breaking Inheritance Diagram Error

[michaelweinold]

...see here:

• parameters.py Absolute Imports break Sphinx Build brightway2-data#186
• Sphinx Build fails on AttributeError: 'AssignName' object has no attribute 'getattr' readthedocs/sphinx-autoapi#480

The current remedy is to disable the 'show-inheritance-diagram' option in autoapi_options of conf.py.

I have looked into this, and there are a lot of libraries which use the current bw2data.parameters structure. We definitely can't just add a breaking change. My judgment is that the marginal value of these inheritance diagrams is lower than the effort to change the bw2data structure - maybe we leave the "current remedy" for now?

Sure, I will add the MWE to reproduce the issue to the issue I opened here: readthedocs/sphinx-autoapi#480. It seems like this could be fixed by the Sphinx extension.
