Difficult to find the dae() options in the online documentation

[moorepants]

I've been trying out the dae() solver and I was not able to find explanations of the possible kwargs for the function in the online documentation. I did find this in the code:

odes/scikits/odes/sundials/ida.pyx

Line 848 in 1e3b332

Reads the options list and assigns values for the solver.

but I'm not finding it exposed in the online documentation. It would be helpful if it was exposed there.

I've found that the text in ida.pyx below the line 848 that you show is the best place to read about the options to the ida solver. But there are also some ipython notebooks in scikits/odes/docs/ipython which have a lot of text .

You can also get the set_options documentation like this:
>>>import scikits.odes.sundials.ida as ida
>>>help(ida.IDA.set_options)

Thanks, I've figured those things out hunting around, but my suggestion would be to expose this in the sphinx docs. I'm using this package in my graduate course and the students are new to Python, so the most obvious place for them to look for details like this is the online documentation (which I can also reference in my online notes with sphinx's intersphinx capability). I don't think my students would easily find these settings, as it took careful searching to locate it myself.
