Documentation for Python3.10-rc1 fails to build.
sphinx-build looks for non-existing interpreter, which causes a crash.
Looking at the tarball with Python, there is Doc/venv/ present (which probably shouldn't be included) containing executable sphinx-build with shebang " #!/home/pablogsal/github/python/3.10/3.10.0rc1/Python-3.10.0rc1/Doc/venv/bin/python3".

Traceback from our Fedora RPM build:

+ make -C Doc html PYTHON=/usr/bin/python3
make: Entering directory '/builddir/build/BUILD/Python-3.10.0rc1/Doc'
venv already exists
mkdir -p build
Using existing Misc/NEWS file
PATH=./venv/bin:$PATH sphinx-build -b html -d build/doctrees -W . build/html
/bin/sh: ./venv/bin/sphinx-build: /home/pablogsal/github/python/3.10/3.10.0rc1/Python-3.10.0rc1/Doc/venv/bin/python3: bad interpreter: No such file or directory
make: Leaving directory '/builddir/build/BUILD/Python-3.10.0rc1/Doc'
make: *** [Makefile:51: build] Error 126

Seems like a duplicate of https://bugs.python.org/issue44824

I will look into this ASAP

[pablogsal]

The tarball in the download server has been updated to not contain the venv directory and the release machinery has been updated to account for https://bugs.python.org/issue44756
