# `cloud_sptheme` - helper functions

The main `cloud_sptheme` module contains the following helper functions:

cloud_sptheme.get_theme_dir()

  Returns path to directory containing this package’s Sphinx themes.

  Deprecated since version 1.7: As of Sphinx 1.2, this is passed to Sphinx via a `setup.py` entry point, and no longer needs to be included in your documentation’s `conf.py`.

cloud_sptheme.get_version(release)

  Derive short version string from longer ‘release’ string.

  This is quick helper which takes a project’s `release` string, and generates the shortened `version` string required by `conf.py`. Usage example for `conf.py`:

      import cloud_sptheme as csp

      ...

      # The version info for the project you're documenting
      from myapp import __version__ as release
      version = csp.get_version(release)
