Are there plans to enable Windows Python to build the docs?\r\n\r\nCurrent builder produces obviously incomplete docs.\r\n[Docs built on my local Win7](http://pywinauto.github.io/docs/contents.html)\r\n[Docs built by ReadTheDocs](http://pywinauto.readthedocs.org/en/latest/contents.html)\r\n\r\nOn ReadTheDocs there is no `ChangeLog` section and every page inside `Source code reference` is empty (like [that](http://pywinauto.readthedocs.org/en/latest/code/pywinauto.findwindows.html) in compare with [a good one](http://pywinauto.github.io/docs/code/pywinauto.findwindows.html)).\r\n\r\nI'm not sure current Linux builder is able to build our docs.

We'd be happy to discuss what this means in terms of work.\r\n\r\nRTD uses symlinking extensively, which will require some architectural changes to support Windows. We aren't familiar with Windows, and don't really have any use cases for using Windows builders, so we would rely on the community to support this feature if it was important enough.\r\n\r\nYou can also look into the [sphinx-autoapi](http://github.com/rtfd/sphinx-autoapi) package we are working on, it parses source code rather than executing it to determine docstrings. This might get around the dependency on Windows, though the autoapi feature does not have feature parity with autodoc yet."}}
