taskflow/README.rst
Joshua Harlow c07a96b3b8 Update the README.rst with accurate requirements
We no longer have a 'optional-requirements.txt' file
so the README.rst should not mention it existing (since
it's not there anymore) so this updates that file with
valid requirements and where they are located (and includes
examples of optional requirements with links to there
project pages).

Testing and requirements

Requirements

Because this project has many optional (pluggable) parts like persistence backends and engines, we decided to split our requirements into three parts: - things that are absolutely required (you can't use the project without them) are put into requirements-pyN.txt (N being the Python major version number used to install the package). The requirements that are required by some optional part of this project (you can use the project without them) are put into our tox.ini file (so that we can still test the optional functionality works as expected). If you want to use the feature in question (eventlet or the worker based engine that uses kombu or the sqlalchemy persistence backend or jobboards which have an implementation built using kazoo ...), you should add that requirement(s) to your project or environment; - as usual, things that required only for running tests are put into test-requirements.txt.

Tox.ini

Our tox.ini file describes several test environments that allow to test TaskFlow with different python versions and sets of requirements installed. Please refer to the tox documentation to understand how to make these test environments work for you.

Developer documentation

We also have sphinx documentation in docs/source.

To build it, run:

$ python setup.py build_sphinx
