sage -docbuild fails ? O_o

[Nathann Cohen]

Hello everybody,

I installed a fresh Sage on a new computer, and I get a weird message
when trying to build the doc:

~$ sage -docbuild reference/graphs html
/home/ncohen/.Sage/local/bin/python: No module named interrupt;
'sage_setup.docbuild' is a package and cannot be directly executed

It is particularly weird when 'make doc-html' works fine (though takes
much longer).

This happens with the directory in the state of the latest develop branch.

Did you run "make" before running "./sage --docbuild..."?

I thought that I had, and running 'make' did not produce any
significant output, but it indeed solved my problem. Sorry for the
noise and thanks for the help O_o

Since that happened, and without checking any other version of Sage than the latest beta, I encountered the problem several times.

Running 'make' seems to 'fix the state' and then the -docbuild command works again, for a while.

I have not been able to pinpoint what exactly made it fail again.
