If there is a directory to be copied to _static, Sphinx first attempts
to delete any directory by the same name in the _static directory. See
attached sphinx_static_exc.txt for the exception.
The simplest fix is to change the call (line 595, Sphinx 0.4.2) to::
to::
It would also be preferable if instead of blindly doing rmtree/copytree,
only updated files be copied to _static.

Oops - didn't complete my thought. The issue is that if the directory
does not already exist, the attached exception is raised.
birkenfeld commentedon Oct 18, 2008
But there is a "path.exists()" condition around the rmtree, isn't there?

Confirmed fixed in 0.43 - this issue can be closed.

Great! Thanks for the patience.
