> try adding python3-setuptools to Build-Depends ok I removed all the black magic from the debian/rules and added setuptools :)
so now, I have this error when building the documentation PYTHONPATH=`pybuild --print build_dir --interpreter python3` http_proxy='http://127.0.0.1:9/' sphinx-build -N -bhtml doc debian/html Running Sphinx v1.7.9 Configuration error: There is a programable error in your configuration file: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/sphinx/config.py", line 161, in __init__ execfile_(filename, config) File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/sphinx/util/pycompat.py", line 150, in execfile_ exec_(code, _globals) File "conf.py", line 19, in <module> import uncertainties File "/<<PKGBUILDDIR>>/uncertainties/__init__.py", line 224, in <module> from .core import * File "/<<PKGBUILDDIR>>/uncertainties/core.py", line 946, in <module> ord(sup): normal for (normal, sup) in TO_SUPERSCRIPT.iteritems()} AttributeError: 'dict' object has no attribute 'iteritems' As we can see sphinx-build even if we gives the PYTHONPATH, load the modules from the source directory File "/<<PKGBUILDDIR>>/uncertainties/core.py", line 946, in <module> and not from /<<PKGBUILDDIR>>/.pybuild/cpython3_3.6_uncertainties/build/ which should contain the module updated with 2to3. what is the proper way to build sphinx doc during a build process ?
