Based on my Windows tree, that should be Doc/tools/sphinx/, along with 
docutils, jinja, and pygments directories. To be a module, sphinx must 
contain __init__.py, along with other files.

Did you run "make -C Doc checkout" first? (I do not know what the -C 
does, as I just do "make checkout" and occasionally make update in Doc 
on Windows, which run Doc/make.bat.
