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

2025-11-18T16:22:40Z

"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".

tools: docs: parse-headers.py: move it from sphinx dir

2025-08-29T21:54:42Z

As suggested by Jon, we should start having a tools/docs directory, instead of placing everything under scripts. In the specific case of parse-headers.py, the previous location is where we're placing Sphinx extensions, which is not the right place for execs. Move it to tools/docs/parse-headers.py.

docs: add a .pylintrc file with sys path for docs scripts

2025-04-09T18:10:33Z

The docs scripts that are used by Documentation/sphinx are using scripts/lib/* directories to place classes that will be used by both extensions and scripts. When pylint is used, it needs to identify the path where such scripts are, otherwise it will bail out. Add a simple RC file placing the location of such files.
