Maximum recursion depth when parsing re module

[shimizukawa]

I'm trying to use autodoc on my project.

#!rest
.. automodule:: sanity
    :members: 

(env2)./~pygash git:master ❯❯❯ make clean ; make html                                                                      
rm -rf _build/*
sphinx-build -b html -d _build/doctrees   . _build/html

RuntimeError: maximum recursion depth exceeded while calling a Python object
The full traceback has been saved in /tmp/corentih/sphinx-err-M8Gc6h.log, if you want to report the issue to the developers.
Please also report this if it was a user error, so that a better error message can be provided next time.
A bug report can be filed in the tracker at <https://bitbucket.org/birkenfeld/sphinx/issues/>. Thanks!
Makefile:53: recipe for target 'html' failed
make: *** [html] Error 1

Ideally I'd like to prevent sphinx from parsing this module but not sure it's possible.

Thanks for the report. Can you attach the input .py source file that led to the error? (If you build with sphinx-build -vvv or make html SPHINXOPTS=-vvv you can see better log which document/code is being translated at the time).

Logs with -vvv

The failing file (I think)

And thanks for such a reactivity :)

Thanks. According to my quick investigation, _doc/index.rst is using .. automodule:: sanity and sanify/__init__.py is also using .. automodule:: sanity. The later one will cause recursive importing.

Please remove later one and try make html again.

That was it... Thanks for you help, and sorry for your time.
