But it doesn't work for me. Let me give more details. I have the following structure: . |-- conf.py |-- user-manual |-- test-manual |-- legacy I also have a bunch of local static files (extensions, theme, ...). the 'legacy' folder contains rst files that points to our documentation *before* the conversion to Sphinx (e.g. old docs). So I need to run sphinx-build twice, but I want to be able to reuse the same config file, so I use the '-c' option: sphinx-build . _build and sphinx-build legacy _build/legacy -c . in conf.py I would like to know 'srcdir' so that I know if I am building our docs, or in 'legacy' mode. > > If you really want to know srcdir value, you need to "hook" into Sphinx using > setup() function inside conf.py: > > def setup(app): > print(app.srcdir) # /home/matt/foo That works, and i get the right srcdir value, but then, how do I set project variables, such as version or release , from the context of setup()? > > Matt > https://blog.documatt.com > > > On Fri, Aug 28, 2020 at 8:38 AM Nicolas Dechesne > <nicolas.deche...@linaro.org> wrote: >> >> hey, >> >> I would like to read the value of srcdir from inside conf.py.
