thanks for the report, closed by [r3660].
When I ported the conf.py from Sphinx 1.2 to 1.3 I noticed that `safe_repr` has
advanced to `object_description` and I just changed our Sphinx patch. It worked
immediately. However, I didn't notice that Sphinx 1.3+ now already strips this
information itself. Great, we don't need to fiddle in the details of Sphinx
anymore!
Congratulations for this brilliant catch to notice that we still tried to do
patch Sphinx even though it's not at all needed anymore. I probably would nave
have tried/noticed it myself, but I failed to do so. Thanks a lot!

** [bugs:#63] Monkey-patching object_description is wrong**

Hi,
Revision https://sourceforge.net/p/pyx/code/3651/ changed conf.py to
monkey-patch `object_description` instead of `safe_repr`.
However, now that code longer makes sense. Unlike `safe_repr`,
`object_description` strips out memory addresses using its own regex, so trying
to match the output against a regex that contains memory address will never
succeed. See [this
diff](https://github.com/sphinx-doc/sphinx/commit/d24bd73d0ce80714#diff-84bfd2ad46b7c8e97e5a06abb886c065L126)
for details.
