New submission from Karthikeyan Singaravelan <tir.kar...@gmail.com>:
The following error is caused in Docs build for a 3.8 backport since sphinx is ran with warnings. Sphinx released 3.0 on April 6. The last successful build on master uses Sphinx 2.2.0 [0]. My guess is sphinx new version possibly breaking the build on Python 3.8 where it's not pinned to use 2.2.0 pulling the latest version. The changelog for Sphinx has below note : https://www.sphinx-doc.org/en/master/changes.html#release-3-0-0-released-apr-06-2020 The C domain has been rewritten, with additional directives and roles. The existing ones are now more strict, resulting in new warnings. Python 3.8 and Python 3.7 doesn't have Sphinx pinned to 2.2.0 while master does.
