3.4.1rc1 is the first release I've cut where the makefile didn't auto-download Sphinx. And then the makefile used "python" and "sphinx-build" straight off the path, rather than finding the local ones. To generate pydoc-topics, I had to do the following:
% ./configure --prefix=`pwd`/release && make
% ./release/bin/pip install sphinx
% cd Doc
% make pydoc-topics PYTHON=../release/bin/python SPHINXBUILD=../release/bin/sphinx-build
And apparently this didn't work.
Maybe there should be a "smoke test" to make sure pydoc-topics is okay?
And... maybe "make pydoc-topics" should copy the data file itself, rather than making me cut and paste paths out of PEP 101? And *then* automatically test it?
