Hello Chris, I found my problem: There is a conf.py in my /usr/bin. A package called "glusterfs" (not sure when I used or installed that) put it there. The user/conf.py (like all other <manual>/conf.py) that is used for the sphinx configuration starts like follows: import sys, os sys.path.append(os.path.abspath('../common/')) from conf import * My sys.path looks like follows: ['/usr/bin', '/usr/lib/python37.zip', '/usr/lib/python3.7', '/usr/lib/python3.7/lib-dynload', '/usr/lib/python3.7/site-packages', '/usr/lib/python3.7/site-packages/linkgrammar'] With the append, the conf.py in /usr/bin is still the one used first. Theoretically it is possible to use the following instead of the sys.path.append: sys.path.insert(0, os.path.abspath('../common/')) But that command is not really good either. It would hurt a documented python behaviour. See https://stackoverflow.com/a/10097543/2229658 and https://docs.python.org/3/library/sys.html#sys.path. Basically path[0] should be the path of the script. In this case the script is the sphinx-builder which is executed from /usr/bin and which calls conf.py via a exec statement. Although I have to say that it is really a stupid idea of the glusterfs packet to install a conf.py into /urs/bin, I don't think that is good for our build to include that file. There could be a packet called conf anywhere on a system. It's not a that uncommon name. I did some tests with relative imports but these failed. Any good idea how a clean and compatible solution could look like for that problem?
