acb_theta not accessible in version 0.8.0, FLINT_VERSION 3.3.1

[drmikecooke]

I was trying to get derivatives of theta functions, via acb_theta, which I understand is in the c-code for flint.

I note the documentation is a blank page for this feature/attribute.

The version logs suggest Oscar Benjamin has been working on this among many of his other activities.

Anyway I tried to dir(flint), and the alphabetically ordered list passes over 'acb_theta', which I would think came between 'acb_series', and
'arb'.

I am aware of modular_theta under acb, but it doesn't seem to have a derivative capability.

You can import acb_theta (FLINT's acb_theta_all) as

from flint.types.acb_theta import acb_theta

Whether it is there or not depends on the FLINT version. Unfortunately the docs build in readthedocs uses a system with an older FLINT version so it ends up not showing on the docs website there.

Currently python-flint does not provide a way to get the derivatives which I come from acb_theta_jet rather than acb_theta_all.

See gh-392 for acb_theta_jet.
