The .inv files are generated by Sphinx during normal HTML build.

In case of https://docs.python.org/objects.inv, you do not need to
regenerate it yourself. You should just depend on python3-doc and
point Sphinx to /usr/share/doc/python3/html/objects.inv.

Here you can find examples of how other packages do it:
