ImportError: No module named 'recommonmark'

[pitrou]

This is what I get when trying a conda build now:
https://readthedocs.org/projects/-pitrou-llvmlite/builds/3647980/

I don't understand what happens, since RTD seems to use a conf.py file that has nothing to do with my project's.

 Running Sphinx v1.3.1

This is the same issue as #1901 -- are you specifying a specific python version in your conda file, but not in your readthedocs.yml?

[pitrou]

Yes. Why should I do it in both? I don't remember this being documented at the time.

[ericholscher]

I just opened a PR to fix #1901 -- closing this, and hopefully that will fix the issues for you.
