New submission from Mitchell Model: I tried to build the docs for v3.4.0b1 following the instructions in the Doc/README.txt. My default python is v3.3. I got the following error message: "Error: Sphinx needs to be executed with Python 2.4 or newer (not 3.0 though)." I wondered what was weird about 3.0 as opposed to later versions that it wouldn't work. Fortunately I had run into other situations where tools expected Python 2 but wouldn't work with Python 3, so after a few minutes of head scratching I tried using Python 2, whi
Sphinx needs to be executed with Python 2 (v. 2.4 or newer), not Python 3 so that it makes clear that it requires Python 2 not Python 3 and puts the grammatical emphasis where it belongs. More importantly, perhaps, the Doc README should be changed to state that make must use Python 2. ---------- assignee: docs@python components: Build, Documentation messages: 207029 nosy: MLModel, docs@python priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: slight ambiguity in README.txt instructions for building docs versions: Python 3.4 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue20090> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
