Warning, there is no cache, it downloads the inventory of each mentioned package every time.

Why ?

Sometime packages docs move and it's hard to keep track of. We try to keep the registry up to date, so yo do not have to ask yourself questions and update your intersphinx-mapping.

You also might not want to think about adding intersphinx mapping when you refer to dependencies.

A package url is wrong !

Please send a PR updating only this package in the registry.json. We try to link only to stable package, not dev versions.

A package is missing !

We can't do all packages, but if you think a package is widely used and missing, please send a PR.
