Thanks for working on this! Already, some of our packages have broken
documentation due to our old Sphinx (vdirsyncer is one).

I started working on it a little while ago in the 'wip-python' branch,
but I decided to wait on that branch until after the next Guix release,
which will include Python 3.5 instead of 3.4.

My memory of that effort is hazy now, but I seem to remember that some
other Python package updates were required in order to make the new
Sphinx work correctly. I'll be happy if I'm wrong :)

Did you try rebuilding all the packages reported by `guix refresh -l
python-sphinx python2-sphinx?`

If they work, I think we could update Sphinx on master, since only ~162
packages would be rebuilt.
