Build pandas documentation from source using installed pandas, not inplace assembly

Question

My question is: how can I use my latest pandas to build pandas documentation?

I read pandas / doc / README.rst which says to go to the pandas/doc directory and run python make.py html . Unfortunately, this does not work for me, since it seems like you need to do the pandas inline assembly first. My (window) computer does not have the necessary prerequisites for creating a development assembly, and it seems to be an extra load when I just want to add some notes that improve the documentation.

The reason why I am asking this question is that I posted a SO question earlier this week about the release of pandas hdf5. In discussing the answer with Jeff, he suggested that I add a comment to the documentation. So I branched out the pandas repository and started thinking about how to add to the documentation. I'm not interested in building an assembly to develop a full pandas installation. I would like to be able to modify the documentation, create it and view my changes before submitting a transfer request. Is there any reasonable way to do this?

Thanks!
