`Sphinx `_
has released a new version 1.6.1 but it breaks a couple of
packages.
`sphinx_gallery `_
breaks with the following error:
::
File "python\lib\site-packages\sphinx_gallery\gen_gallery.py", line 297, in setup
if 'sphinx.ext.autodoc' in app._extensions:
AttributeError: 'Sphinx' object has no attribute '_extensions'
This is probably going to be fixed anytime soon. In the meantime,
you can just avoid updating Sphinx or modify the code of
this package by removing the test.
`sphinxcontrib.images `_
also breaks. I recommand to postpone the update:
::
pip install sphinx==1.5.6
*pyquickhelper* should work with both when the images
packages will be updated.
