[Numpy-discussion] Beginner Help: Generating HTML using Sphinx

[Mbeng Tanyi]

Hello

I still have a problem with this. I am using sphinx1.8.5 and changed the
default python version on my computer to be 3.6 but I get the following
error on $ make html ;

Traceback (most recent call last):
>   File "/home/valentina-t/.local/bin/sphinx-build", line 7, in <module>
>     from sphinx.cmd.build import main
>   File
> "/home/valentina-t/.local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/sphinx/cmd/build.py",
> line 39
>     file=stderr)
>         ^
> SyntaxError: invalid syntax
> Makefile:123: recipe for target 'html' failed
> make: *** [html] Error 1


I googled the error but didn't find anything really useful. I feel it has
something to do with python2.7 as part of the path. Suppose I am right, I
need help changing it to python3.6 please.

Regards
