      While running make docs sphinx generates a warning that there are duplicate labels named _examples. It seems it's present in c-api/typeobj.rst and distutils/examples.rst as below :

      ➜ Doc git:(master) rg '.. _examples:'
      c-api/typeobj.rst
      2324:.. _examples:

      distutils/examples.rst
      1:.. _examples:

      # Warning

      2018-07-10T07:30:36.8709047Z /opt/vsts/work/1/s/Doc/distutils/examples.rst:5: WARNING: duplicate label examples, other instance in /opt/vsts/work/1/s/Doc/c-api/typeobj.rst

      Sample log : https://python.visualstudio.com/cpython/cpython%20Team/_build/results?buildId=16141&view=logs

      There are no references to the label as far as I have checked and I suppose this is an easy fix to be done if someone wants to take it up. The effect is that in the page https://docs.python.org/3.8/c-api/typeobj.html the following text links to distutils/examples for the text "Examples" which should ideally link to https://docs.python.org/3.8/c-api/typeobj.html#examples

      "In addition to the following quick reference, the Examples section provides at-a-glance insight into the meaning and use of PyTypeObject."

      It will be also helpful if sphinx warnings are made as an error in CI so that these are caught there.

      Thanks
