Working with Scrapy, I have a requirement to use poise cookbook for extracting information about the collaborators of a particular git repo. The api documentation is provided here. With no prior knowledge of handling of cookbooks, I need some guidelines in setting up and integrating it into my scrapy project.

I work on an open source project.
In order to facilitate the review of sphinx documentation changes in our Python source code, we’d love if we could somehow get the documentation generated and hosted somewhere for each pull request, like we already do with coveralls for our code coverage.
Pushing new commits would update the generated doc for that pull request. We’ll be soon be adding doc generation to our travis build to find sphinx errors, but doing a final visual review would still need to be done locally by pulling the branch and generating it locally.
Is there any GitHub app that offers to host a webpage generated on a pull request?
2018: You can make your own GitHub repository serve pages with GitHub pages.
If you generate your documentation in the gh-pages branch or the doc/ subfolder of your main branch, you can have both your codebase, and your doc in the repo.
See for instance lneuhaus/pyrpl issue 85, which illustrates how to automate Sphinx for Python documentation
cd doc/sphinx
sphinx-apidoc -f -o source/ ../../pyrpl/
make html
You can automate that using Syntaf/travis-sphinx:
A standalone script for automated building and deploying of sphinx docs via travis-ci
Update Q4 2022: the OP fronsacqc adds in the comments:
We ended up pushing the documentation generated by the build on an S3 folder tagged with the static hosting flag, so now every build's documentation is hosted on S3 for a couple of days.
Currently we use ESRI's Business Analyst Online (BAO) to create demographic reports based on geospatial inputs (3-mile ring around an address, or within a city's boundaries, etc.). These are generally output from the point and click web application as PDF or Excel files.
I'm trying to automate the process of retrieving those reports from ESRI BAO. I have installed the Python 3.5+ package arcgis following instructions found here. This seems to get me started with the ArcGIS functionality, but I don't see any API functionality for the BAO toolset. Is there another API package I should be downloading? Or is there documentation on a REST/SOAP API I can call from Python? I've looked over the documentation, but if there's something there about what I'm trying to do I haven't found it.
Has anybody tried to do this before and been successful? Let me know.
After starting trials for several ArcGIS services I found that ArcGIS Online provides access to ESRI's REST API. As of today, once you've signed up (either paying or with a trial) you can navigate to the ArcGIS GeoEnrichment Service Documentation. That documentation tells you everything you need to know about how to access the same reports you would find in ESRI BAO, but through a REST API.
I made a blog using Ablog, a plugin for Sphinx that lets you build a complete blog with analytics, disqus integration etc.
I want to deploy this app, I tried heroku but it didn't work. Has anybody deployed a blog using Ablog, or Sphinx?
Thanks

It looks like ablog build generates a static site, and deploying it should be as easy as copying the generated files into a directory that a web server is configured to serve. I have a similar setup using Pelican for my blog and I use Github Pages to deploy it, which means creating a git repo with the correct name (username.github.io), adding your generated files, and pushing it up, after which your blog will be available at username.github.io.
I'm new to django and I've been browsing around the djangopackages site. I'm wondering what is the difference between those "django" packages, and python libraries that are not django packages.
So for example sendgrid has a django package and also a few regular python libraries. If I want to use the sendgrid wrapper from a django app, what benefits do i get by using the django package rather than the other python libraries that are available and more frequently maintained?
A Django package has the general structure of a Django app (models.py, views.py, et cetera) and it can have additional settings to define in your settings.py file. Using the Django package makes it easier to integrate the functionality into your Django web application rather than simply calling a Python library.
Usually the Python library provides all the functionality and a Django package provides additional functionality to use it (such as useful template tags, settings or context processors). You'll need to install both as the Django package won't work without the library. But this can vary so you'll need to look into the provided functionalities by the Django package.
I am starting on developing a django application on a shared webhosting server(alwaysdata.com).
I would like to understand what are the packaing options available to package a django application (preferably in compiled form)
I would like to setup the source code repository on my system and build using the python packaging and deploy the package on alwaysdata.com.
I would like the option of not having to share the source code on alwaysdata.com.
Looking at pip , I am not able to find this option.
EDIT
A few more clarification: I would need the ability to not share the sourcecode since it contains the "API secret key" which I would not want to compromise. The more I look into it , the more i believe that there is no way for me to distribute binary only distribution.
I've found fabric to be a pretty nice tool for deploying Django projects. To compile your python code you can use compileall:
python -m compileall <dir>
How is this API key used? Is it a google maps api? Is it provided in scripts that go to the browser? If so, it's already out in the open, anyone using your site will see it, so you're trying to provide a $100 lock for a $0.01 piece of information. If it's a google maps api, it's not secured by keeping it hidden, but rather it's tied to a domain/directory (IIRC).
Can you share a little more what the API key is and is for, then maybe we can help you find a better solution to keep it secure.
Do you think you have to share your source code if you host your application on a 'shared hosting' provider? That's not the case. Your source code should still be private to you but the administrators of your hosting provider can get it too. Other normal Joe Users of the service shouldn't have access to your source code, or your database too. If they do, then get another shared hosting provider!
