DOC: use RTD for doc builds / hosting

[jreback]

now RTD support conda, see here.

for pure-python packages this is quite easy (e.g. @shoyer just added xray support).

We would have to build a conda package on travis. and push to our channel. Which is then pulled from RTD.

We might even be able to build pandas on RTD -- compiling pandas only takes
a few minutes on my machine, and conda will let us install up to date
dependencies.

I wasn't aware that you could actually compile things on RTD, really?

[shoyer]

Yep, it runs setup.py. You just can't compile dependencies -- but now we'll be able to install matplotlib, scipy, pytables, etc with conda.

your next project!

@datapythonista is this actionable/desirable?

[datapythonista]

I'm not the right person to tell, I don't understand our build system so well. But seems like this could make our lives easier, so I'll do some research while working on the documentation refactoring.

I think the main problem is that our docs take a long time to build (on travis often between 40 and 50 minutes), while https://docs.readthedocs.io/en/latest/builds.html mentions a limit of 15 min (I thought it was longer, but that is in any case way too short)

[shoyer]

It's 15 minutes, but RTD builds your docs with Sphinx at least 3 times. I'm pretty sure it would be unworkable for pandas.

OK, let's close this then.
