Replying to [comment:4 jason]:
> Yes, I suppose worst-case is just adding a python-docs target to the
deps file that builds python again after sphinx is installed.
That's quite easy to do.
> A slightly better case is adding a python-docs target that defines an
environment variable SAGE_PYTHON_BUILD=no or something and then re-
installs the python spkg. Then modify the python spkg to check for that
variable and not actually build python if that variable is no.
Ideally though we don't want the user to have to mess with that
environment variable. I think this can be automated.
As long as there's not an issue with hard-coded paths (which may make the
documentation useless if Sage is moved), then I think a temporary tar file
is the best solution, as it will save a lot of time. Python is a big
package to build twice if it is unnecessary.
This needs a bit of thought, and its late here, so I'm going to bed.
