Why does documentation require hosting it on a server? My assumption is that it's a static site, and as such, even GitHub Pages would be sufficient.

I know... all content has to be served via a "server" but in case of OVH it's a full-blown hosting solution isn't it?

Besides, I'm sure GitHub wouldn't mind supporting Pandas documentation. They do it for a million other projects for free (even though they're not popular among the HN crowd these days)

Free stuff has a way of short circuiting things.

Probably because your assumption is wrong - they host a live shell and documentation search.

(I don't know anything about pandas, incidentaly, I just did some basic research before posting.)
