Description
I am a happy user of the pip installability feature, whereby I run "pip install allmydata-tahoe" to get a running tahoe installation.
This installation lacks documentation, at least where I sometimes find other python documentation in $VIRTUALENV_ROOT/share/doc/$PACKAGE_NAME.
Request: Fix the pypi distribution to bundle all documentation such that pip-installed tahoe provides documentation in this location.
If documentation is installed elsewhere, ensure that it is compatible with virtualenv. Specifically I should be able to install different versions of tahoe-lafs in different virtualenvs and have the correct copy of documentation for each install.
