[New-bugs-announce] [issue31036] building the python docs requires the blurb module

[Matthias Klose]

New submission from Matthias Klose:

[Ned asked to submit that as a release blocker]

the build of the documentation fails with at least the 3.5.4rc1.  It adds a new build dependency (blurb), which is inconvenient to build on stable environments, or when pip is not available. Please could you consider including the blurb module itself in python for the stable branches?

Also the build fails with the release tarballs.
