New submission from Terry J. Reedy:
I was able to build docs of all versions with the old system. When 3.4 was
changed to the new system, 'pip install sphinx' installed everything needed so
that 'sphinx-build -bhtml . build/html' in .../Doc (Devguide 7.5.2) works for
3.4 (and 3.5). "PYTHON=C:\programs\python27\python.exe" does not seem to
matter.
After the recent conversion for 2.7, that command and 'make html' (devguide
7.5.1) do not work for 2.7. The devguide instructions are version-independent,
but the reality does not seem to be. Both commands give this.
Running Sphinx v1.2.2
Configuration error:
There is a syntax error in your configuration file: invalid syntax
(patchlevel.py, line 71)
Did you change the syntax from 2.x to 3.x?
tools/patchlevel.py. line 71, is "print x'. When I added ()s, this error goes
away and I get

SyntaxError: invalid syntax
I expect the problem is the 'ur' prefix, invalid in 3.4+.
I tried to install a 2.7 version of sphinx, but pip refuses.
C:\Programs\Python27>pip install sphinx
Requirement already satisfied (use --upgrade to upgrade): sphinx in
c:\programs\python34\lib\site-packages
So I don't know how to sensibly proceed without disabling 3.x builds.
