[Debian-astro-maintainers] Bug#872708: python-asdf: FTBFS with Sphinx 1.6: AttributeError: 'Sphinx' object has no attribute '_extensions'

[Dmitry Shachnev]

Source: python-asdf
Version: 1.2.1-2
Severity: important
Tags: fixed-upstream
User: python-modules-team at lists.alioth.debian.org
Usertags: sphinx1.6

Dear maintainer,

python-asdf fails to build with Sphinx 1.6, currently available in
experimental:

  [autosummary] generating autosummary for: asdf/examples.rst, asdf/extensions.rst, index.rst

  Exception occurred:
    File "/<<PKGBUILDDIR>>/astropy_helpers/astropy_helpers/sphinx/ext/automodsumm.py", line 311, in automodsumm_to_autosummary_lines
      if 'astropy_helpers.sphinx.ext.automodapi' in app._extensions:
  AttributeError: 'Sphinx' object has no attribute '_extensions'

The automodsumm extensions was relying on private API which has been made
public in Sphinx 1.6, see this upstream commit:

https://github.com/sphinx-doc/sphinx/commit/9025297faa917665

In upstream repository, this bug was fixed by updating bundled automodsumm
to the latest upstream version. This particular issue can be fixed by
cherry-picking this diff:
