Hello.

I recently assumed the sphinx package maintenance for Fedora. 

When I observed the package structure, I realized it is based on source code developed in C, with latest stable version available in next link:
http://sphinxsearch.com/downloads/current/

Latest binary versions from previous link (for example, v3.4.1) link to python base source code.

Once I have inspected the package structure and the upstream project, I realized Sphinx was migrated to python, and newer versions can be downloaded via the "pip" tool. Apart from that, there is already a "python-sphinx" package to handle sphinx tools.

So I guess the correct way to go here is to orphan the C based package (sphinx), unless there is some detail I am missing to keep it maintained.

Thanks
