[Numpy-discussion] Beginner Help: Generating HTML using Sphinx

[Matti Picus]

Note the /home/valentina-t/.local/lib/python2.7 in the error message. 
This indicates you are using python2.7, not python3.6. Please try using 
a virtual environment or activating a conda environment.

If you need further help please reach out to me personally.
