failed to install due to docutils latest version contains string

[kfirilani]

while trying to upgrade sphinx, it tries to update docutils.
docutils latest package version is 0.14rc1
while parsing the version, it fails due to parse error for int()

File "/Users/ci/workspace/wrk_automation_utils_mac_debug/.eggs/Sphinx-1.3.1-py2.7.egg/sphinx/util/compat.py", line 17, in
docutils_version = tuple(int(x) for x in _du_version.split('.')[:2])
ValueError: invalid literal for int() with base 10: '14rc1'

Can you fix that it wont fail in case of dependency version parsing error?

Same as #3814. It is fixed newest release: 1.6.2.
Please upgrade to newest one.

Thanks,

@tk0miya unfortunately this is not duplicate but other one at sphinx.util.compat

[tk0miya]

oh, sorry. reopened.

I will take a look tomorrow (in Japan, it's night 🌃 now)

[jfbu]

it was a hectic and very productive day thanks to you...

unfortunately we overlooked this one in time for 1.6.2, sorry because I should have looked more systematically at the time of my initial report for other such situations in Sphinx code base relative to Docutils version string

@kfirilani actually I was too pessimistic. The sphinx.util.compat module is not imported by core Sphinx anywhere anymore afaict. It may be imported by extensions. Can you try upgrading to Sphinx 1.6.2 ?

[tk0miya]

Good morning, all.
I checked with 1.6.2, and it did not reproduced.

The sphinx.util.compat module is not imported by core Sphinx anywhere anymore afaict.

Yes, the module is deprecated now. So it does not prevent the behavior of sphinx-core.

About sphinx.util.compat, fixed at ff1adc7.
