Thanks for testing. The Linux issue seems to be exclusively related to you environment. For the Windows issue: I have both Meson and Sphinx installed via pip3, your setup seems to have Meson installed separately and using its own Python. Bruce, can you advise if Python tools are supposed to work when Meson's Python is different from the system Python?
