The error is removed so it's better.
With this patch, a figure reference looks like this:
:numref:`figure_single_port_nic` Virtualization for a Single Port NIC in SR-IOV
Mode
The rst line is:
:numref:`figure_single_port_nic` :ref:`figure_single_port_nic`
I was trying to replace the numref output by a working link with "figure" as
label.
This is my trial to mimic :ref: as a first step:
8<------------------------
from docutils import nodes
from distutils.version import LooseVersion
from sphinx import __version__ as sphinx_version
from sphinx import addnodes
from sphinx.roles import XRefRole
class XNumRefNode(addnodes.pending_xref):
def __init__(self, rawsource='', *children, **attributes):
attributes['reftype'] = 'ref'
super(XNumRefNode, self).__init__(rawsource, *children, **attributes)
class XNumRefRole(XRefRole):
def __init__(self):
super(XNumRefRole, self).__init__(nodeclass=XNumRefNode,
innernodeclass=nodes.emphasis, warn_dangling=True)
def setup(app):
if LooseVersion(sphinx_version) < LooseVersion('1.3.1'):
print('Upgrade sphinx to version >= 1.3.1 for '
'improved Figure/Table number handling.')
app.add_node(XNumRefNode)
app.add_role('numref', XNumRefRole())

Unfortunately it gives this error:
_pickle.PicklingError: Can't pickle <class 'XNumRefNode'>: attribute
lookup XNumRefNode on builtins failed
Help of python experts is welcome.
