Larry Hastings added the comment:

3.4.1rc1 is the first release I've cut where the makefile didn't auto-download 
Sphinx.  And then the makefile used "python" and "sphinx-build" straight off 
the path, rather than finding the local ones.  To generate pydoc-topics, I had 
to do the following:

% ./configure --prefix=`pwd`/release && make
% ./release/bin/pip install sphinx
% cd Doc
% make pydoc-topics PYTHON=../release/bin/python 
SPHINXBUILD=../release/bin/sphinx-build

And apparently this didn't work.

Maybe there should be a "smoke test" to make sure pydoc-topics is okay?

And... maybe "make pydoc-topics" should copy the data file itself, rather than 
making me cut and paste paths out of PEP 101?  And *then* automatically test it?
