In some cases, where a local source for a package (e.g. in the PYTHONPATH) is used instead of a
pip
install package, theget_version()
in thedocs/conf.py
fails withimportlib.metadata.PackageNotFoundError: No package metadata was found for PACKAGE
when usingsphinx-build
directly (instead of going viatox -e docs
