Its part of the mercurial repo and gets called from the top level Makefile that doesnt get included in the released tarball.

Where does this script mkfuncdocs.py comes from?

At any rate, it would be great to include a Makefile for building the documentation from scratch.

Yeah once the functions.texi is created using mkfuncdocs.py, then it doesnt need python anymore.

Thanks for the commit.

I can build all forms of the documentation without Python, for instance:


makeinfo --no-split arduino.texi
makeinfo --html --no-split arduino.texi
texi2pdf arduino.texi

The buildrequirement for text2pdf is also not required in that case

Its required to generate the documentation, which is already generated in the released package unless someone patches a file.

In the DESCRIPTION file of the arduino package Python is declared
as a BuildRequirements.  However, the package builds fine without Python.
