Thomas Bechtold 788c70ab26 Restructure documentation
- Convert README from markdown to restructured text
- Add documentation template for Sphinx
- Add setup.cfg file so that sphinx build is done in
  doc/build/html as expected by infra scripts.

This is the way OpenStack projects usually do documentation.

pymod2pkg
=========
`pymod2pkg` is a simple python module for translating python module names to
corresponding package names which is a common problem in the packaging world.
.. note:: Note that rdopkg_ uses this module to check whether packages
corresponding to `requirements.txt` are available across distros
and more.
.. _rdopkg: https://github.com/redhat-openstack/rdopkg
Installation
============
From source
***********
If you want to hack `pymod2pkg` or just have the latest version without
waiting for next release, I suggest using the git repo directly a la
.. code-block:: shell
git clone https://git.openstack.org/openstack/pymod2pkg
cd pymod2pkg
python setup.py develop --user
From PyPI
*********
For your convenience, `pymod2pkg` is also available from the Cheese
Shop:
.. code-block:: shell
pip install pymod2pkg
Usage
=====
`module2package` is probably all you need, it accepts a module name to convert
and a linux distribution name as returned by `platform.linux_distribution()[0]`:
.. code-block:: python
import pymod2pkg
pkg = pymod2pkg.module2package('six', 'Fedora')
There's not much more, really, so RTFS.
Fixing/extending the map
========================
Currently, only package maps for RPM-based systems are provided, but it'd be
nice to have all the distros covered and it's really easy to do.
See `*_PKG_MAP` and `get_pkg_map`, hack it to your liking and submit review by
.. code-block:: shell
git review
Running the testsuite
=====================
Run tests by:
.. code-block:: shell
python tests.py
Indices and tables
