With Sphinx 2, there is an error on the Docs PR job of Azure Pipelines:

   Compile the Python ``main()`` function and link Python executable with C++
   compiler: ``$CXX``, or *COMPILER* if specified.

I wrote PR 25296 to reuse Doc/requirements.txt in the Docs PR job of Azure Pipelines. It installs Sphinx 3.2.1 as expected, and with this version, no warning is emitted.

You're welcome :-) I plan to send an email to python-dev to ask for reviews. I hesitated to ask for a review on the PR, but honestly, it's painful to read plain text Sphinx. I prefer to read HTML ;-)
