New submission from Nick Guenther:
I'm running Arch. I just checked out python's hg and tried to build the docs,
and found that I couldn't:
$ cd cpython/doc
$ make update
[lots of output stripped]
$ make pydoc-topics
mkdir -p build/pydoc-topics build/doctrees
python tools/sphinx-build.py -b pydoc-topics -d build/doctrees -D
latex_paper_size= . build/pydoc-topics
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "tools/sphinx-build.py", line 27, in <module>
from sphinx import main
File "/home/kousu/pro/cpython/Doc/tools/sphinx/__init__.py", line 44
except ImportError, err:
^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax
make: *** [build] Error 1
I edited the Makefile to say PYTHON = python2
and then it worked. Is the assumption that python2 is still supposed to be the
default python everywhere? Is python 3 not able to build itself yet?
