I wonder if it might be sensible to create a new package called - python-
documentation-1.0.spkg in order to resolve this circular dependency
problem.
That new python-documentation-1.0.spkg gets built after both python and
sphinx are built. This package then copies the contents of the python
package from the python.spkg, extracts it, then builds only the
documentation - not all of Python if at all possible.
Otherwise, the build will fail for sure for everyone, which is off-putting
to newcomers, even if old hands know how to get around the problem. The
ability to type 'make' then go away and leave it will be lost if the build
fails on this each time.
