    Since the docsbuild-scripts 1 upgraded its sphinx-build [2], we're having this error when building the docs:

    ! Undefined control sequence.
\py@authoraddress -> \strong

{Python Software Foundation}\\ Email: \email {d...
l.58 \sphinxtableofcontents
                       
!  ==> Fatal error occurred, no output PDF file produced!

    it looks like to be from conf.py line 97 [3]:

    conf.py-95-# Additional stuff for the LaTeX preamble.
    conf.py-96-latex_elements['preamble'] = r'''
    conf.py:97:\authoraddress{
    conf.py-98- \strong{Python Software Foundation}\\
    conf.py-99- Email: \email{docs@python.org}
    conf.py-100-}

    [2]: we merged python/docsbuild-scripts#12

    Pending results of actual builds on docs.p.o, this should be fixed.

    Thanks for looking into this. See also python/psf-salt#118 where the question arose whether the version of Tex Live on docs is new enough. I'm no expert at anything Tex but the odd thing is that I had been able to build dist docs on my current Debian (testing) system without this change. Let's see what happens on docs after the daily full doc build.

    Good news! It appears that the changes supplied by @Linkid have indeed fixed the daily downloadable doc build failures, 3.7, 3.6, and 2.7 docs were built successfully and the 404s are gone. Thanks everyone for helping with this!

    Seems like people are seeing 404s when downloading docs today. By any chance this issue is related?

    Seems like people are seeing 404s when downloading docs today.

    Do you have specific URLs or web pages? Or a link to where this was discussed? I just did a quick look at some of the download pages and everything worked for me.

    Sorry!! Yesterday morning I received 50+ emails all about document download page is 404. Reading those again, turns out these are older emails from a week before, somehow just showing up in my mailbox.
    I think everything is good here. :)

    Thanks!
