[docs] [issue35472] python 3.7.2 rc1 bumped the build requirements for no reason

[Terry J. Reedy]

Terry J. Reedy <tjreedy at udel.edu> added the comment:

Should we add '(subject to change in any release)' after
# Require Sphinx 1.7 for build.

Matthias, I presume you are on some Linux. Would a script to temporarily change conf.py to build the docs work for you?

To be reasonably sure that 1.6.6 is sufficient for all translations on all systems that care, I would think it should be part of a .rc release first.
