This is a follow up to 4d9f6f00a4f0798e41700c22a839eddff0881692 based on
the discussion in pull request #7047 where we seem to have found a middle
ground that should make everyone happy :-)
The inconsistency (asymmetry) of unconditionally adding gnureadline as a
dependency of binary distributions can cause issues like reported at
https://github.com/paylogic/pip-accel/issues/34
This creates batch files, with a .cmd extension, which can launch
IPython from 'ipython' at a command line, to replace the .exe files
created by setuptools.
This makes repeated installations much quicker on Windows.
for pyreadline on Windows.
gnureadline is still a dependency on OS X
pyreadline will *not* be installed by default anymore.
There will no longer be any checks for dependencies in entry points.
numpydoc is now a separately installable package, so we can express a
dependency for the 'doc' install option, rather than bundling it. This
gets us bugfixes that our copy was lacking - one of which was causing a
problem for the ShiningPanda docs job.
The no-hidden behavior of the files handler
already requires this, but instead of raising, it just doesn't hide hidden files.
Bumping the minimum version also allows much cleaner static file handler subclasses.
`setup.py anything` will halt with an informative error
if the submodules are unclean.
It will fetch the submodules if they are entirely absent.
Nothing will happen if it is not a git repo.
Improve Windows start menu shortcuts
* Create Windows start menu shortcuts with better names.
* Add shortcuts for IPython Notebook and online documentation.
* Add icons for IPython console and notebook.
* Apply PEP8 to ipython_win_post_install.py.
* Tested on win32-py2.7, win-amd64-py2.7, win-amd64-py3.3, Windows 8.
