For the vast majority of packages, the current method listed in 
LibraryStyleGuide applies, i.e.:

PYTHONPATH=. sphinx-build -N -b html <docs_dir> <build_dir>

One can also use the sphinx-generated Makefile if available:

PYTHONPATH=$(CURDIR) $(MAKE) -C <docs_dir> html

Both are simple one-liners and do not rely on pybuild.

If it does not cost much to build the extension inplace, then the 
simplest option is to prefix one of these calls above with:

python3 setup.py build_ext --inplace

If the cost is prohibitive, which arguably applies to a very limited set 
of packages (yours included) then you would use pybuild for that, as 
Piotr kindly suggested.

Considering the rarity of this use case though, I wonder whether it is 
worth adding a separate section to the style guide.
