This appears to be a problem with the numpydoc extension. I can't tell what's happening now, however removing numpydoc from the needed/supported extensions in the package temporarily solves the FTBFS.
For the record, this happens both with python-sphinx/numpydoc and python3-sphinx/numpydoc. <cut> # Sphinx version: 1.5.6 # Python version: 2.7.13 (CPython) # Docutils version: 0.13.1 release # Jinja2 version: 2.9.6 # Last messages: # loading intersphinx inventory from http://docs.python.org/objects.inv... # WARNING: intersphinx inventory 'http://docs.python.org/objects.inv' not fetchable due to <class 'requests.exceptions.ProxyError'>: HTTPConnectionPool(host='127.0.0.1', port=9): Max retries exceeded with url: http://docs.python.org/objects.inv (Caused by ProxyError('Cannot connect to proxy.', NewConnectionError('<urllib3.connection.HTTPConnection object at 0x7fdb5ca47d50>: Failed to establish a new connection: [Errno 111] Connection refused',))) # building [mo]: targets for 0 po files that are out of date # building [html]: targets for 5 source files that are out of date # updating environment: # 5 added, 0 changed, 0 removed # reading sources...
