I tried to build the docs for v3.4.0b1 following the instructions in the Doc/README.txt. My default python is v3.3. I got the following error message: "Error: Sphinx needs to be executed with Python 2.4 or newer (not 3.0 though)." I wondered what was weird about 3.0 as opposed to later versions that it wouldn't work. Fortunately I had run into other situations where tools expected Python 2 but wouldn't work with Python 3, so after a few minutes of head scratching I tried using Python 2, whi Sphinx needs to be executed with Python 2 (v. 2.4 or newer), not Python 3 so that it makes clear that it requires Python 2 not Python 3 and puts the grammatical emphasis where it belongs. More importantly, perhaps, the Doc README should be changed to state that make must use Python 2. |

Is this issue only to update the doc or need to update the Error message as well? For error message, is it part of Sphinx? |

For 2.7 and 3.3, the error message just needs to be fixed (s/3.0/3.x/); it lives in the sphinx-build.py script somewhere in Doc/. For default, though, since we now rely on an installed version of Sphinx rather than a checked out version, the whole version check needs to be removed and just let Sphinx deal with version checking on its own. |

Doc/README.txt will also probably need an update, at least on default. |

I think this should be sufficient. |
