Sphinx tables in latex are inconsistent at the moment. There is a ticket open
to use just one package for tables, but right now I think it picks 1 of 4(?)

write, I always
add :class: longtable to all of the table definitions to allow for (what I
think) is better layout, plus the header/footer for continuations.
You can format the columns and overall table width using the tabularcolumns
directive, eg
.. tabularcolumns:: |>{\RaggedRight}p{\dimexpr 0.3\linewidth-2\tabcolsep}
|>{\RaggedRight}p{\dimexpr 0.5\linewidth-2\tabcolsep}
|>{\RaggedRight}p{\dimexpr 0.2\linewidth-2\tabcolsep}|
Adding that everywhere tends to get annoying quickly, plus is is difficult for
most people understand what is going on (FYI this produces a table with 3
columns, all left aligned, with 30%, 50%, and 20% of the page widths).
What else is needed to use this? If I add it, PDF creation halts in the
middle, with
! Undefined control sequence.
<template> ...inewidth -2\tabcolsep }\RaggedRight
\ignorespaces
l.5169 \textsf
{\relax
?
This is sphinx 1.4.6.
