Description (last modified by jdemeyer)

The upgrade to Sphinx-1.6.3 broke docbuilding if make doc-clean was not done. This is because the "environment pickle" from the old Sphinx failed to unpickle with the new Sphinx. This pickle is not so important, we can just ignore this error and continue.

Actually, I'm experimenting with a much simpler change to allow a graceful upgrade to Sphinx-1.6.3: it's a specific pickle which fails to load. Wrapping that in try/except might work.

Is it worth printing more information than just 

[diophanti] loading pickled environment... failed: 'module' object has no attribute 'WarningStream'

to let users know that this is indeed harmless?

comment:7 follow-up: Changed 4 years ago by jdemeyer

I don't really see the point... In any case, I feel that this is something that upstream should decide.

Replying to jdemeyer:

I don't really see the point...

The point, as I said, is "to let users know that this is indeed harmless". Some people worry when they see messages saying that something "failed".
