New submission from Anthony Sottile <asott...@umich.edu>:
Noticed this while packaging 3.6.8 for deadsnakes (ubuntu ppa) This patch: https://github.com/python/cpython/pull/11251 Requires a version of sphinx where `sphinx.util.logging.getLogger` is available. It appears that the first version which that was available was 1.6: https://github.com/sphinx-doc/sphinx/commit/6d4e6454093953943e79d4db6efeb17390870e62#diff-db360b033c6011189d978db1a4b7dcb7 For example, on ubuntu xenial (16.04) the newest packaged version of python3-sphinx available is 1.3.6 (released 2016-02) which satisfies the "minimum version": https://github.com/python/cpython/blob/3c6b436a57893dd1fae4e072768f41a199076252/Doc/conf.py#L36-L37 I hacked around it in this case by just using `logging.getLogger`: https://github.com/deadsnakes/python3.6/commit/9ba2234f35087a4bf67e3aecf2bd8dd0e3f67186 I'm not sure what the right answer is here, bumping the minimum version will make it _harder_ for packagers -- though I understand continuing to support old (2 years ago) things can be cumbersome. ---------- assignee: docs@python components: Build, Documentation messages: 332665 nosy: Anthony Sottile, docs@python priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: backported patch requires new sphinx, minimum sphinx version was not bumped versions: Python 3.6 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue35605> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
