Currently we have "sphinx" and "sphinx_rtd_theme" in a single
group in pythondeps.toml. This means that mkvenv will try to
install them both at once, which doesn't work if sphinx_rtd_theme
depends on a version of Sphinx which is newer than the system
one, even if the "sphinx" we're installing at the same time
would satisfy that dependency. For instance this:

 sphinx = { accepted = ">=8.0.0rc1", installed = "8.0.0rc1", canary = "sphinx-build" }
 sphinx_rtd_theme = { accepted = ">=2.1.0rc1", installed = "2.1.0rc1" }

fails like this:

mkvenv: Creating non-isolated virtual environment at 'pyvenv'
mkvenv: checking for meson>=1.1.0
mkvenv: installing meson==1.2.3
mkvenv: checking for sphinx>=8.0.0rc1
mkvenv: checking for sphinx_rtd_theme>=2.1.0rc1
mkvenv: installing sphinx==8.0.0rc1, sphinx_rtd_theme==2.1.0rc1
ERROR: Cannot install sphinx-rtd-theme==2.1.0rc1 and sphinx==8.0.0rc1 because these package versions have conflicting dependencies.
ERROR: ResolutionImpossible: for help visit https://pip.pypa.io/en/latest/topics/dependency-resolution/#dealing-with-dependency-conflicts

*** Ouch! ***

Could not provide build dependency 'sphinx==8.0.0rc1':
 • Python package 'sphinx' version '4.3.2' was found, but isn't suitable.
 • A suitable version could not be obtained from PyPI.

(where 4.3.2 is the system version of sphinx on my system).

Avoid this problem by splitting sphinx_rtd_theme into its own
group in pythondeps, so we can install the new sphinx into the
venv first and the sphinx_rtd_theme afterwards.

I'm just bumbling around in the dark here, hence the RFC tag: maybe
there's a better way to fix this? I ran into this when I was trying
to test the fix for https://gitlab.com/qemu-project/qemu/-/issues/2458
and wanted a newer Sphinx to test with. Unless you also install
the newer RTD theme the new Sphinx will emit some deprecation warnings
about things the theme is doing.

I think the error is a bit confusing, but the versions seem to be
genuinely incompatibile. sphinx_rtd_theme is still incompatible with
sphinx 8.0.0, and the error is correct:

The conflict is caused by:
    The user requested sphinx==8.0.0rc1
    sphinx-rtd-theme 2.1.0rc1 depends on sphinx<8 and >=5
To fix this you could try to:
1. loosen the range of package versions you've specified
2. remove package versions to allow pip attempt to solve the dependency conflict

The reason why your patch works is weird, and it's apparent when you
run the "pip install" commands one by one:

It doesn't install 8.0.0rc1 at all... :)

Aha. Is it possible to get mkvenv to produce these full
error messages rather than the truncated version?

thanks

Heh, the idea of pythondeps.toml was that they wouldn't be necessary -
hence the messages that are slightly more tailored to the
QEMU-specific issue. It's certainly a good idea to at least place them
in a venv-pip.log file or something like that.
