Specifying targets for intersphinx links to numpy, scipy, and matplotlib

Question

Following the documentation for setting up Sphinx documentation links between packages, I have added

intersphinx_mapping = {\'python\': (\'http://docs.python.or         


        

Answer 1

An additional way to know how to do cross reference is with the sphobjinv module.

You can search local or even remote inventory files (with fuzzy matching). For instance with scipy:

$ sphobjinv suggest -t 90 -u https://docs.scipy.org/doc/scipy/reference/objects.inv "signal.convolve2d"

Remote inventory found.

:py:function:`scipy.signal.convolve2d`
:std:doc:`generated/scipy.signal.convolve2d`

Note that you may need to use :py:func: and not :py:function: (I'd be happy to know why).
