Hi,

I wonder whether someone on the Python list might come up with some help

I suspect that this issue is caused by the Sphinx version bump.
When looking at other places where this error was discussed[1],
the recommendation is to use

    sphinxcontrib-bibtex<2.0.0 to requirements.txt

which is no real option in the our packaging case.  Any help how
to adapt the code to python3-sphinxcontrib.bibtex 2.4.1 would
be appreciated.

Kind regards

      Andreas.

this is sphinxcontrib-bibtex saying that you need to add the following to 
doc/conf.py:

bibtex_bibfiles = "path/to/references.bib"

However I can't see a .bib file anywhere in the source. I also can't see any 
code in the rst files or the docstrings that would actually use sphinxcontrib-
bibtex so I'm not sure how this extension is actually used in these documents. 
Perhaps it isn't actually needed at all.

cheers
Stuart

looking at setup.py, it has

    license=["BSD"],

https://salsa.debian.org/med-team/python-cogent/-/blob/master/setup.py#L62 

while the documentation for the setup() function indicates that licence should 
be a string. That would certainly be consistent with the exception that is 
raised with the output of get_license().

https://packaging.python.org/guides/distributing-packages-using-setuptools/
#license

I've not checked that this is indeed the problem, but patching setup.py to 
have instead

    license="BSD",

would be the next thing I'd try.

Incidentally, I see that upstream for cogent has ripped out setup.py entirely 
and now has a flit based build system which will require a few changes to the 
packaging in the future.

cheers
Stuart
