It's a bit strange.
Could you add following code into your conf.py and execute again please?

import six
print six.__version__

It seems six-1.4.1 is used. Could you check your environment?

[vincentmaithu]

I've no virtual env running. Never needed one. Do I now?

[tk0miya]

Finally, I found the root of this problem.
sphinx.ext.intersphinx always crashes with six-1.4.1.
I fixed it at 7586297.
As a workaround, please update six to 1.5.0 or newer.

Note: following code crashes with six-1.4.1:

from six.moves.urllib import parse
from six.moves.urllib.parse import urlsplit

parse.urlsplit  # => AttributeError

[vincentmaithu]

When I update my six i still get the error

Just found the issue. I needed to update Sphinx to 1.4.4

It seems sphinx does not recognize six-1.5.0 you installed. How did you install sphinx?

[vincentmaithu]

pip install -U Sphinx

[tk0miya]

Hmm, it seems your python environment is broken. Please check your environment. In fact, your sphinx does not recognize the new six package.
Sorry I can't help you.

[vincentmaithu]

Hey no problem, thanks for responding.
