TensorFlow Intersphinx

---

This repository contains the Sphinx Inventory of the TensorFlow 2.4 API and the TensorFlow Probability 0.12 API together with the scraper and conversion script used to generate it.

Intersphinx Usage

To enable these intersphinx inventories in your Sphinx documentation, add the following items inside the intersphinx_mapping dictionary in your Sphinx configuration (conf.py).

For TensorFlow,

• GitHub-hosted:

  "tensorflow": ("https://www.tensorflow.org/api_docs/python", "https://github.com/GPflow/tensorflow-intersphinx/raw/master/tf2_py_objects.inv")

• local copy (relative to conf.py):

  "tensorflow": ("https://www.tensorflow.org/api_docs/python", "tf2_py_objects.inv")

For TensorFlow Probability,

• GitHub-hosted:

  "tensorflow_probability": ("https://www.tensorflow.org/probability/api_docs/python", "https://github.com/GPflow/tensorflow-intersphinx/raw/master/tfp_py_objects.inv")

• local copy (relative to conf.py):

  "tensorflow_probability": ("https://www.tensorflow.org/probability/api_docs/python", "tfp_py_objects.inv")

Example

# Example configuration for intersphinx: refer to the Python standard library.
intersphinx_mapping = {
    "numpy": ("https://numpy.org/doc/stable/", None),
    "python": ("https://docs.python.org/3/", None),
    "tensorflow": (
        "https://www.tensorflow.org/api_docs/python",
        "https://github.com/GPflow/tensorflow-intersphinx/raw/master/tf2_py_objects.inv"
    ),
    "tensorflow_probability": (
        "https://www.tensorflow.org/probability/api_docs/python",
        "https://github.com/GPflow/tensorflow-intersphinx/raw/master/tfp_py_objects.inv"
    ),
}

Find the correct reference

You can view the contents of the inventories by running python -msphinx.ext.intersphinx tf2_py_objects.inv or python -msphinx.ext.intersphinx tfp_py_objects.inv The output is separated into classes, functions, and modules.

Regenerate the Sphinx Inventories

• Install dependencies: pip install -r requirements.in
• After installation, run the scraper (make sure to delete old versions of the json files first, rm -f tf_docs_scraper/core_symbols.json tf_docs_scraper/core_symbols_tfp.json): cd tf_docs_scraper && scrapy crawl tf_docs -o core_symbols.json && cd .. (TensorFlow) cd tf_docs_scraper && scrapy crawl tfp_docs -o core_symbols_tfp.json && cd .. (TensorFlow Probability)
• After the scraping process finishes: python inventipy.py

These steps can be run all-in-one using the regenerate.sh shell script.

Note that the TensorFlow and TensorFlow Probability versions (displayed as part of the intersphinx links in your docs) are hard-coded in inventipy.py, and have to be updated in there as required.
