I wasn't able to emerge dev-python/sphinxcontrib-websupport because dev-python/sphinx[doc] was ordered to be built first.


Error was fixed by running:

emerge -1 --nodeps dev-python/sphinxcontrib-websupport


Can a dev please add:

doc? ( dev-python/sphinxcontrib-websupport[${PYTHON_USEDEP}] )

to RDEPEND?

I've run into this problem as well.  However, installing dev-python/sphinxcontrib-websupport seems to prefer =dev-python/sphinx-1.7.5-r1.  So, I'm not sure if the suggested patch would resolve the issue.

It should be a DEPEND as not RDEPEND as it is about generating the doc while emerging. Besides that I can confirm this solution works.

This is probably because you still have python 2.7 support enabled (still the default, but I have removed it as much as possible).

dev-python/sphinxcontrib-websupport has python 2.7 support and hence need a dev-python/sphinx with python 2.7 support. However, sphinx-2.0.1 have removed that support. Therefore it pull in the older sphinx-1.7.5-r1 which have python 2.7 support.
On my system, where I have mostly removed python 2.7 support, it pulls in sphinx-2.0.1 as you would expect.

I have not checked if the sphinx-1.7.5 are missing a similar dependency.
