Introduction
This problem discovered by @CLearERR and @anotherbugmaster when they runs
tox -e docs
, i.e. build documentation from sources on the linux system. After it, they received errorWhat happens and why
Obviously, that we see the problem with python3 incompatible code (thanks "pattern") and python3 as the backend for tox.
This happens because I added
pattern
to dependencies for documentation (this is really needed to install all stuff for build full documentation)https://github.com/RaRe-Technologies/gensim/pull/1797/files#diff-2eeaed663bd0d25b7e608891384b7298R310
Also, sphinx strongly recommend to use python2 for documentation building (not related with this problem, but we want to follow this recommendation)
Solution
Pin python version explicitly to 2.
