Don't know how to debug doc of Poset...

[Florent Hivert]

Hi there,

Since sage-4.3.3 asking for Poset? doesn't print the docstring. I've no
idea where to start to debug this issue. Any suggestion ?

Cheers,

Florent

The problem is with the "sphinxify" function; for some reason it
doesn't work on this docstring with "text" output. A quick hack to
make it work: apply this patch to sagenb/misc/sphinxify:

diff -r 464ea285a887 -r 162f6ef3f0f9 sagenb/misc/sphinxify.py
--- a/sagenb/misc/sphinxify.py Mon Mar 08 21:12:54 2010 -0800
+++ b/sagenb/misc/sphinxify.py Sun Mar 21 12:32:34 2010 -0700

else:
output = docstring

+ if format == 'text' and len(docstring) > 0 and len(output) == 0:
+ output = docstring
+
if temp_confdir:
shutil.rmtree(confdir, ignore_errors=True)
shutil.rmtree(srcdir, ignore_errors=True)

I don't know what the underlying cause is, though.
