Where can I find documentation for the API?

[Evan Zamir]

For the life of me, I can't find any API online for PyMC. I 've read the User's Guide, and while it's very helpful, I need more specifics. For example, I understand that there is a class Exponential. Where is this class described? 

Also, sort of a related note, does anyone know why autocompletion in PyCharm doesn't seem to pick up Exponential, Poisson and other similar classes?

Is your question regarding pymc 2 or 3?

PyMC 2 for now.

Is this what you're looking for http://pymc-devs.github.io/pymc/genindex.html?

Hey, Thomas. I have seen that page. I guess what confused me a bit is that I only see the .._like() functions listed. So for example, I see binomial_like but not Binomial and bernoulli_like but not Bernoulli. I guess these are called the "Automatic" forms? I was just hoping somewhere I could find the api for that more explicitly documented. But I guess for now, I am able to make do and figure out my way.

BTW, I ended up stumbling upon your PyData video from a couple years ago on PyMC3. Great stuff! Would you recommend to someone like me just starting to use PyMC that I should use PyMC 3 right away, instead of PyMC 2?

It's difficult to say. I personally use pymc3 for everything with great success (but there might be some sharper edges). The docs are starting to materialize here: http://pymc-devs.github.io/pymc3/ If that's enough info for you and you feel a bit adventurous, try out that.
