This could be an option, but it is still half-broken - or at least implementing it is not trivial - as spinx-pre-install is the script which recommends what packages are needed on openSUSE Leap. and on RHEL8 (and based) distros. Internally, it needs to run sphinx-build --version to check if Sphinx version is compatible with the build. So, adding support for a PYTHON env is still half-broken after this series. Thanks, Mauro
