Problem

When adding references to examples it is a bit of hassle to open all the files in order to determine which files don't have the references. So I listed them all using this bash command ( https://unix.stackexchange.com/a/26839/181419)

find . -type f -name "*.py" | xargs grep -H -c 'References' | grep 0$ | cut -d':' -f1 > references.txt
