docs: bring some order to our Python module hierarchy

2025-11-18T16:22:40+00:00

Now that we have tools/lib/python for our Python modules, turn them into proper packages with a single namespace so that everything can just use tools/lib/python in sys.path. No functional change. Signed-off-by: Jonathan Corbet Message-ID: <20251110220430.726665-3-corbet@lwn.net>

docs: Move the python libraries to tools/lib/python

2025-11-18T16:22:40+00:00

"scripts/lib" was always a bit of an awkward place for Python modules. We already have tools/lib; create a tools/lib/python, move the libraries there, and update the users accordingly. While at it, move the contents of tools/docs/lib. Rather than make another directory, just put these documentation-oriented modules under "kdoc".

check-variable-fonts.py: add a helper to display instructions

2025-09-18T17:17:18+00:00

Use lib docstring to output the comments via --help/-h. With that, update the default instructions to recomment it instead of asking the user to read the source code.

tools/docs: check-variable-fonts.py: split into a lib and an exec file

2025-09-18T17:17:18+00:00

As we'll be using the actual code inside sphinx-build-wrapper, split the library from the executable, placing the exec at the new place we've been using: tools/docs No functional changes.
