Package: ovito Followup-For: Bug #1071132 There is something weird about this error (not the accessing internet, but the failure when it cannot).
sphinx does not normally fail if the intersphinx urls cannot be accessed. For instance scipy docs refer to "neps", which is not available, but that intersphinx failure is ignored and the scipy doc build carries on. What is ovito doing differently to other python packages, that it fails on an intersphinx internet error?
