New submission from Tim Hoffmann <tim.hoffm...@posteo.de>:
The sphinx conf.py entry `needs_version=1.8` (https://github.com/python/cpython/blob/1470edd6131c29b8a09ce012cdfee3afa269d553/Doc/conf.py#L48) is not in sync with the doc build requirements (https://github.com/python/cpython/blob/1470edd6131c29b8a09ce012cdfee3afa269d553/Doc/requirements.txt#L6) Possible solutions: a) Drop the `needs_version` config value. It's optional. b) Make sure to update both places. c) Or at minimum add a comment that `needs_version` is only a safeguard against very old sphinx versions but is not necessarily sufficient to build. ---------- assignee: docs@python components: Documentation messages: 384305 nosy: docs@python, timhoffm priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: Sphinx conf.py needs_version entry is outdated _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue42820> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
