I guess this went out of your focus.  I tried my best to update Git[1] to
version 0.9.0.  The package build process stumbles about doc creation:


...
copying images... [ 97%] savefig/var_fevd.png
copying images... [100%] savefig/dvar_forecast.png

copying static files... done
copying extra files... done
dumping search index in English (code: en) ... done
dumping object inventory... done
build succeeded, 33 warnings.

The HTML pages are in build/html.
Copying rendered example notebooks
mkdir -p build/html/examples/notebooks/generated
cp source/examples/notebooks/generated/*html build/html/examples/notebooks/generated
#../tools/examples_rst.py
../tools/fold_toc.py build/html/index.html
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "../tools/fold_toc.py", line 12, in <module>
    doc = open(filename, encoding='utf8').read()
TypeError: 'encoding' is an invalid keyword argument for this function
make[2]: *** [Makefile:77: html] Error 1
make[2]: Leaving directory '/build/statsmodels-0.9.0/docs'
make[1]: *** [debian/rules:39: override_dh_auto_build-indep] Error 2

Any hint / patch / take over would be really welcome.

Kind regards

        Andreas.
