Sphinx error

[Bill Bedford]

I've just upgraded Sphinx to 1.3.1 and now I get the following error
when I run make:

York:Mousa Bill$ make html
sphinx-build -b html -d _build/doctrees . _build/html
Traceback (most recent call last):

I get similar errors when I other scripts e.g. virtualenv

Can anyone tell be what is going one and how I can fix it?

I guess your Python-3.4 environment has another 'locale' module instead of python standard.

To check it, please run bellow code in your Python-3.4 interactive shell.:

>>> import locale

>>> print(locale.__file__)

If it indicate a path that is not a python standard library, it's a cause of your error.

OK this is what I get:

>>> print(locale.__file__)
/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.4/lib/python3.4/site-packages/Sphinx/locale/__init__.py


So will Sphinx work as expected if I delete Sphinx/locale ?

Strange...

NO.

I guess your python environment has path to

/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.4/lib/python3.4/site-packages/Sphinx/

This path might be included in sys.path:

$ python

>>> import sys

>>> print(sys.path)

*** list of path will be printed here ***

If it's true, you must remove the path that is pointing to Sphinx directory.

BTW, why does your `Sphinx` directory name is capitalized?

How do you install Sphinx?

There was a './Sphinx' entry in a 'easy-install.pth' file. Now that has
been removed sphinx is working as it should

Thanks for your help

Sounds good :)

I guess you are using easy_install.

I suggest you should use `pip` instead of easy_install if you can.

note: using easy_install and pip at the same time is dangerous, in some case. Please take care.
