This repository contains scripts for automatically building the Python documentation on docs.python.org.
The following command should build all maintained versions and
translations in ./www, beware it can take a few hours:
python3 ./build_docs.py --quick --build-root ./build_root --www-root ./www --log-directory ./logs --group $(id -g) --skip-cache-invalidationIf you don't need to build all translations of all branches, add
--languages en --branches main.
Install tools_requirements.txt then run python check_versions.py ../cpython/ (pointing to a real CPython clone) to see which version
of Sphinx we're using where:

Docs for feature and bugfix branches are automatically built from a cron.
Manual rebuilds are needed for new security releases, and to add the end-of-life banner for newly end-of-life branches.
To manually rebuild a branch, for example 3.11:
ssh docs.nyc1.psf.io
sudo su --shell=/bin/bash docsbuild
screen -DUR # Rejoin screen session if it exists, otherwise create a new one
/srv/docsbuild/venv/bin/python /srv/docsbuild/scripts/build_docs.py --branch 3.11
