I can not import sphinx_rtd_theme

[efatuarte95]

Problem

I've followed the installation manual, changing the html_theme in conf.py and when I'm going to create the html the following message comes out: "sphinx_rtd_theme is no longer a hard dependency since version 1.4.0. Please install it manually.(pip install sphinx_rtd_theme)"
Obviously I tried to install the theme manually but nothing changed... Any ideas?

Environment Info

• Python Version: 2.7
• Sphinx Version: 1.5.6
• RTD Theme Version:

Did pip install sphinx_rtd_theme give any error messages? I would also recommend updating sphinx to a newer version 1.5.6 is almost a year old.

I did pip install sphinx_rtd_theme and no errors appear. I've tried to update Sphinx to whe new version but still the same problem

[hning86]

any resolution? I ran into the exact same issue. I have sphinx 1.6.6.

I did pip install sphinx_rtd_theme and no errors appear

Can you post the output of this command?
Are you using a virtualenv?

I had the same issue when I didn't have the sphinx package installed.
Doublecheck with
`(env) patrick@stretch:~$ pip list | grep -i "sphinx"

Sphinx 1.7.5
sphinx-autobuild 0.7.1
sphinx-rtd-theme 0.3.1
sphinxcontrib-websupport 1.0.1
(env) patrick@stretch:~$
`
I had the autobuild so I was under the illusion it was :-)

Sphinx should be set as a dependancy.

same issue

I'm pretty sure the answer here is to add Sphinx to install_requires to setup.py.

The following is error free:

% virtualenv testvenv
% source testvenv/bin/activate
% pip install sphinx sphinx_rtd_theme
% python
>>> import sphinx_rtd_theme
>>>

Same issue

This should be fixed if people want to try to install master, otherwise, wait till the next release.

For user still stuck with this issue, on macOS reinstalling the packages worked for me

pip uninstall sphinx sphinx_rtd_theme
pip install sphinx sphinx_rtd_theme

In my case on Ubuntu, I had python3-sphinx installed when I needed python-sphinx. I don't think this had anything to do with sphinx_rtd_theme, just a misleading error message.

[anwang2009]

I had incompatible sphinx packages sphinx-docfx-yaml 1.2.71 and sphinx 2.3.1. Uninstalling and reinstalling sphinx and its themes, then uninstalling sphinx-docfx-yaml worked for me.

I'll add that even though Pycharm says it can't find the import, it still works when I build. 🤷

I found another issue, I had two installations of sphinx, one via pip and another one via brew. Deleting one (I chose to remove brew) solved this issue.
brew remove sphinx-doc

pip3 install sphinx sphinx_rtd_theme
I had the same problem. It is solved when I installed like this

[h3nr1ke]

If you, for whatever reason, dont want to use pip, you can try

sudo apt-get install python3-sphinx python3-sphinx-rtd-theme

it will fix the problem as well
