[FIXED] What's the latest sphinx version which supports Python 2.7?

Issue

I am having trouble packaging Sphinx v4.2 on Python v2.7.18:

========== 1733 passed, 3 skipped, 3477 warnings in 663.79s (0:11:03) ==========
==> Entering fakeroot environment...
==> Starting package()...
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "setup.py", line 8, in <module>
    import sphinx
  File "/home/user/Projects/aur/python2-sphinx/src/Sphinx-4.2.0/sphinx/__init__.py", line 20, in <module>
    from .deprecation import RemovedInNextVersionWarning
  File "/home/user/Projects/aur/python2-sphinx/src/Sphinx-4.2.0/sphinx/deprecation.py", line 28
    def deprecated_alias(modname: str, objects: Dict[str, object],
                                ^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax

Since the above error regards Python 3.x typehinting and installing python2-typing didn't make a difference, I am guessing python 2 support must have been deprecated, so

what's the latest sphinx version supporting Python 2.x?

Solution

Latest PKGBUILD for python2-sphinx was for version 1.8.5.
