I'm running Arch. I just checked out python's hg and tried to build the docs, and found that I couldn't:
I edited the Makefile to say PYTHON = python2
and then it worked. Is the assumption that python2 is still supposed to be the default python everywhere? Is python 3 not able to build itself yet?

I see that in Doc/tools/sphinx-build.py there is this check:
But I never saw this and had to debug it myself. I submit the attached patch as a solution.

You can manually install Sphinx >=1.1 (preferably >=1.2.*) (and its dependencies) using Python 3, and directly call
sphinx-buildfrom so installed Sphinx, instead of usingmake.
