  • Remove the Lib/test/imghdrdata/ directory.
  • Copy 5 pictures (gif, png, ppm, pgm, xbm) from removed Lib/test/imghdrdata/ to a new Lib/test/tkinterdata/ directory.

The Docs CI job fails with:

Could not import extension sphinx.builders.epub3 (exception: No module named 'imghdr')

Oh. It seems like the Sphinx EPUB builder requires the removed imghdr module.

Sphinx used to depend on imghdr, but no longer does as of Sphinx 6.2.0:

Therefore we'll need to start using Sphinx 6.2.0 for Python 3.13.

Therefore we'll need to start using Sphinx 6.2.0 for Python 3.13.

@doko42 would it be managable from a Debian packaging point of view?

Do we have some contacts with other distribs?

I remember the last bump of needs_sphinx raised a lot of concerns.

@encukou Is requiring Sphinx 6.2.0 for Python 3.13 okay for Red Hat?

Yes. It's OK for Fedora. (And RHEL will follow Fedora after some time.)

OpenSUSE is using Sphinx 7 for Python 3.12 builds

Debian and Ubuntu are the only remaining distributions from the list we checked last time.

I created issue #104818 "Require Sphinx 6.2 to build Python 3.13 documentation". I propose to discuss updating Sphinx (or not) there.

Looks good, we can use Sphinx 6.2 for the "normal" docs build and for doctest (both use requirements.txt), and still support 3.2 in Doc/requirements-oldest-sphinx.txt.

Right. I only upgraded Sphinx in the GHA "Doctest" job. It seems like increasing the minimum Sphinx version to build the documentation is not strictly required to remove the imghdr module.

I prefer to decorelate the imghdr removal and increase the minimum Sphinx version to build the Python documentation. So far, still supporting Sphinx 3.2 makes it possible to build Python 3.13 documentation on Debian Stable: #104818 (comment)
