“No module named” several import errors in Python Sphinx

Question

I am new to sphinx documentation. I followed the sphinx documentation for configuring sphinx for my cherrypy project.But when I run make html it throws me lots of errors and warnings as follows:

Traceback (most recent call last):.root

Any hope ? someone please help.. I have also changed the line in my conf.py as follows:

sys.path.append('workspace/myproject/src/myproject/')

Answer 1

myproject is a module. You have thus to add its parent container to the PYTHONPATH (and not the myproject-folder itself):

sys.path.append('workspace/myproject/src/')
