hi,
(maybe this is off topic on this list)
When I want to run sphinx cmd on my pc, I got the error:
```
vimer@dev:~/build/rfs/packages/test_dir$ cat /tmp/sphinx-err-etgbo9tg.log

```
The problem may be in importlib_metadata here, but I am not sure how to fix it.
I remembered I do `python setup.py build/install` something ago.
Any help is welcome!
BR,
Bo
