Indeed such behavior is not only breaking the reproducible builds, but also a bit misleading. However I think this may be non-trivial to fix, as Sphinx tries to import the module, rather than parse it, and Python evaluates the arguments during module import. The same result (evaluated argument) can be seen if you call the built-in help() against that function. Speaking about your example, I would recommend against using such functions at all: the default argument of that function is module *import* time, not the actual time when it is executed; this is not what one may expect. In any case, I have forwarded this bug to upstream developers, let's see what they think about it. -- Dmitry Shachnev
