I changed the milestone to 0.2

from pvlib-python.

I'm going to mark this 0.3 since I'm not sure what should be ported into new or existing notebooks and what should be put into the docstrings and sphinx documentation.

I've had a lot of offline feedback that broken tutorials a big problem and I'd like to do a 0.2.1 release with updated tutorials. I don't plan to make them read any better, just get them to the point that they can run end-to-end without exceptions. #69 is also relevant to this.

Will try to help here. My take on the Sphinx vs notebook issue is that personally I prefer a worked example to get up to speed first and then dig into the API-level docs. Trying to get into a new product just by reading the API docs is just too hard. So, let's fix the notebooks first.
