I also don't know what his code does precisely, but I wouldn't be so quick to dismiss.
It's possible he has executable documentation; in which code snippets within his documentation are executed at build time to produce actual output, rather than hard-code it. That way he would also become notified when his documentation says one thing, but his code does differently. Overall, I don't see a problem with Sphinx having access to OpenMaya, or any other Python library.
