As in most  other  Sphinx-utilising  packages,  it  is  listed  in  the  BDEPEND
variable, meaning that it is only required during the building  of  the  package
[1].  If `emerge -c` isn't removing what you would expect,  try  something  like
`emerge -cv dev-python/sphinx` to see the explicit reverse-dependencies blocking
the removal.
