I noticed it also but I did not remember use sphinx with rinohtype
extension.

The fact is that I am packaging the sphinxcontrib-ditaa[0] and I want to
test it via pip3:

```
vimer@dev:~/build/rfs/packages/test_dir$ sudo pip3 install  sphinxcontrib-ditaa
Collecting sphinxcontrib-ditaa
  Using cached sphinxcontrib-ditaa-1.0.1.tar.gz (7.5 kB)
  Preparing metadata (setup.py) ... error

  note: This error originates from a subprocess, and is likely not a problem with pip.

```

So I think the issue maybe not raised from sphinx extension, but it could be worse than that.

Thanks for help:)
