I finally found out that this is related to a Linux-specific issue with Python permissions. (I had already tried the master branch)
The installation only works when sphinx is installed *with* sudo, contrary to the normally expected method *without* sudo. According to the new "correct" way of doing things in Python - users should typically install packages *without *sudo privileges. Because of this, Linux users might not be aware that Sphinx actually requires to be installed via: *sudo pip install -U sphinx*, rather than what all the other packages require: *pip install --user -U <package>* Thus, this is perhaps at least a documentation issue on the git readme for Linux users. . . . . unless it is a bug, which I wouldn't mind writing upon your confirmation. Thanks, cheers. On Tuesday, December 1, 2020 at 2:24:34 AM UTC-5 Peter Bienstman wrote: > This is a bug related to Python 3.9 that Julien fixed recently.
