Hello, when running the latest Sphinx development version using Python 2.5, I get the above error message. That's because autodoc requires Python >= 2.6. Best workaround is probably to upgrade my Python version.
Just wanted to share this because it took me some time to understand and in case somebody else gets this problem. I attached a detailed error log (I had to comment out a try...except handler in `sphinx.ext.autodoc.Documenter.format_signature` to get this).
