[Python-modules-team] Bug#877027: python3-requests: Please provide a -doc package

[Diane Trout]

Package: python3-requests
Version: 2.18.1-1
Severity: wishlist

Dear Maintainer,

Please provide a requests documentation package.

It looks like requests is one of the packages where upstream doesn't
ship the documentation files in the source package uploaded to pypi.

It is available from the releases on github though.

In the case of pypi packages missing docs or tests, I tend to pull
directly from github. But it might also be worth trying to talk upstream
into including them on pypi.

Thank you,
Diane
