Build failure using Python 3 version of Sphinx 1.1.3

[sam...@gmail.com]

Hello I'm using Kubuntu Raring. I was trying to build the Cython 0.19 docs, and using python3-sphinx I got the following error traceback -- not sure whether to report this here or at the cython list. There were no errors trying to build using python-sphinx i.e. the Py2 version. Please advise.

# Sphinx version: 1.1.3
# Python version: 3.3.1
# Docutils version: 0.10 release
# Jinja2 version: 2.6

Ping, any help on this please? Thanks.

Hi,

I did not know Cython document, but I think you can not use
Sphinx-1.1.3 with Python3.3.1.

* Sphinx-1.1.3 supports Python-2.4 to 3.2.
* Sphinx-1.2b1 supports Python-2.5 to 3.3.

If problems reproduced in above combination, please report to issue
tracker (I think tracker is better than ML).

Best regards,

Thank you for your clarification. Have now reported Ubuntu bug to keep track of this: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/sphinx/+bug/1184658
