Great - so I can step in here with an equivalent problem. :-) > Not sure I understand how dh-python / pybuild help with this problem. > > I thought the recommended way to deal with building documentation was > something like this in debian/rules: > > override_dh_auto_build: > dh_auto_build > PYTHONPATH=. sphinx-build -b html -N Doc/ Doc/.build/html > > ... in which case building the documentation happens outside > dh_auto_build. I'm using override_dh_auto_build: # arch USE_CYTHON=true dh_auto_build # indep: PYTHONPATH=. http_proxy='127.0.0.1:9' sphinx-build -N -b html doc build/html PYTHONPATH=. http_proxy='127.0.0.1:9' sphinx-build -N -b man doc build/man in python-biom-format[1] which results in #831239. I was once advised to specify the http_proxy that way (others here in this thread as well) and I wonder how to solve this. If I try to export http_proxy and do not call sphinx-build manually at all no documentation will be created. So how to solve this? Kind regards Andreas.
