"sadly" since #23620 which make use of a Sphinx 3.2.0 only feature, we should bump it to 3.2, but it may not work for everybody. JulienPalard commented on Jan 6, 2021 In favor of Sphinx 3 only :
In favor of keeping compatibility with Sphinx 2 :
- Some distribs may want/need to ship Python 3.10 along with Sphinx 2?
So I'm personally in favor of a full witch to Sphinx 3 with Python 3.10, but I'm open to hear everybody. vstinner commented on Jan 12, 2021
Some distribs may want/need to ship Python 3.10 along with Sphinx 2?
In my experience, Linux distributions prefer to only ship a single Sphinx version. The question is more which Linux distributions are stuck at Sphinx 2 only?
If there is a short list of Linux distributions which cannot use Sphinx 3, even just to build the Python documentation, would it be acceptable for them to stop shipping the Python documentation?
In Fedora, the Python documentation is a separated package. For example, it allows us to upgrade Python while Fedora Rawhide was upgrade to Sphinx 3 but the Python documentation was not compatible with Sphinx 3 (fixed in bpo-40204).
If you ask *me*: I mostly care about Fedora which already uses Sphinx 3.2, so I'm fine with requiring Sphinx 3.2 (the Python documentation is *not* compatible with Sphinx 3.0 and 3.1: see bpo-40204).
If the minimum required Sphinx version changes, please document it properly at:

- Fedora 33 (stable) ships python3-sphinx 3.2.1-1 and python3.10 version 3.10.0~a3-1 (the alpha4 is under tests).
- Debian Buster (stable) ships python3-sphinx 1.8.4-1 and python3 version 3.7.3-1
- Debian Sid (unstable) ships python3-sphinx 3.4.3-1 and python3 version 3.9.1-1.
- Ubuntu Groovy (stable) ships python3-sphinx 3.2.1-1 and python3 version 3.8.6-0ubuntu1
- Ubuntu Hirsute (dev) ships python3-sphinx 3.3.1-1 and python3 version 3.9.0-3ubuntu1
In this list, requiring Sphinx 3.2+ to build Python 3.10 documentation would only be an issue on Debian Buster.
I didn't check Red Hat RHEL or SUSE SLE. If they want to ship Python 3.10 but only have an old Sphinx, they can either use a newer Sphinx to build the doc, or ship Python 3.10 with no doc (since it would not be the "system Python", it may be an acceptable tradeoff). vstinner commented on Jan 12, 2021 There is a PPA on Ubuntu for Python 3.10. The PPA maintainer considers the drop the documentation, see discussion at:
#23620 (comment) doko42 commented on Jan 13, 2021 Ubuntu 20.04 LTS still sees subminor Python 3.8 version updates, and needs to use sphinx 1.8.5. JulienPalard commented on Jan 25, 2021
