Hi, it seems that you have a module that is imported by sphinx (probably because of autodoc), and that unconditionally considers itself a script (that's where the arguments come from -- they are definitely not Sphinx arguments). This is bad and indicates a problem: * Either the script is imported instead of a module with the same name, then something is wrong with your sys.path setting * Or the script is meant to be imported, then its "script" parts need to be inside an if __name__ == '__main__': block. (I understand it looks like a Sphinx problem, because "sphinx-build" is mentioned, but that is simply sys.argv[0] inserted by the script.) cheers, Georg -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.16 (GNU/Linux) iEYEARECAAYFAkxau9EACgkQN9GcIYhpnLCvEgCfT2eJALpKl9v5pA3J07Gwo3rs 9lEAoJL9rqoBUOoqY2SakFFonMMhySbI =yIDL -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "sphinx-dev" group.
