Extension error:
Could not import extension sphinxnotes.strike (exception: No module named 'sphinxnotes')

• which one exacly module it is? (pypi cannot find sphinxnotes)
• Looks like in meson.build is missing line like import('python').find_installation('python3', modules : ['sphinx', 'sphinxnotes'])

which one exactly module it is? (PyPI cannot find sphinxnotes)

The required modules are listed in docs/requirements.txt, they are:

sphinx-book-theme
ablog
sphinxnotes-strike
sphinxnotes-mock
sphinx_sitemap
sphinxcontrib.gtagjs
sphinxext.opengraph

Looks like in meson.build is missing line like import('python').find_installation('python3', modules : ['sphinx', 'sphinxnotes'])

Yes, hardcoded python command is not good. would you like to file a pull request?

Why not 😄 .. however it would be good to know where I can find sphinxnotes to be able test that before create PR 😋

[kloczek]

BTW .. is it really necessary to use all those sphinx extensions to create main page? 🤔

pip install sphinxnotes-strike sphinxnotes-mock

In fact it is not needed and we can consider not introducing these dependencies when building the manpage.

Does your problem solve after installing the above package?

Looks like in meson.build is missing line like import('python').find_installation('python3', modules : ['sphinx', 'sphinxnotes'])

I remove the dependency in #370, can you please have a try?

Since Srain documentation does not longer require any extra python package, close this issue.
