New description:
This is a bit tricky since we need sphinx and other things installed
before we can build the docs, but sphinx and the other things depend on
python. To resolve this circular dependency, we try to import sphinx. If
we can't import sphinx, then we exit without error with a message that you
should install sphinx and related tools first and then try building the
docs again. This means that in order to use the environment variable, you
have to install the python spkg twice, since we don't have an option to
just build docs without building python. But maybe that's worth it for
someone that just wants the python docs.
The new spkg is here:
