Remove upper-bound on required Sphinx version #68

Closed MinchinWeb closed 7 years ago

MinchinWeb commented 7 years ago

The current setup.py requires Sphinx from the 1.3.x and 1.4.x lines. In practice, releases seems to generally work find with newer versions of Sphinx as well, with broken compatibility being treated as a bug (c.f. #66, #67). The current setup.py also causes weird bugs from time-to-time with newer version of Sphinx where Python will complain that the wrong version of Sphinx is installed.

Cherry-pick's ability to confuse github strikes again...merged/tweaked. Thanks!

Hm, yea and now Travis is quite irate, have to dig into that.

Hrm it looks like 1.6.1 breaks other things too:

Python 2.6 is straight broken, sadface. But that's arguably up to individual users & our Travis matrix.
On other interpreters, Sphinx' actual API seems to have changed in 1.6.x which is breaking stuff; don't know if I have time to dig right now so if we can't nail it down to a quick PR I might change this to still want <1.6. Gets us 1.5.x so still an upgrade, but.
