This repo is about 3 years without maintenance, I got the same error. Maybe you can try lower version of sphinx :(
Waiting to be fixed.

Don't hold your breath, I think this repo is dead.

But this fork works (at least for me): https://github.com/leokoppel/sphinxcontrib-versioning

(which I found from #57)

+rep this one works.

@MXWXZ, @odoublewen, shouldn't we create an "official" fork, maintain it, and make it available in PyPI? It would be very useful to me and others hosting pages on gitlab, given that gitlab has an integrated CI.

The repo is too old and you need to do a lot of things to fix the CI error or anything else.
You can use

pip install git+[YOUR GIT URL]

I think its enough for me :)

@sehnem This is a good goal. I don't have the bandwidth right now. I am also not sure how one would go about making it available on PyPI. Would you give it a new name to distinguish it from the dead project? And how would the people find out that the fork was the "official" one? In general, it seems like zombie projects, owned by an individual, are a weakness of github for opensource. It would be good if there was a way to call out the defunct status.

Anyway. Maybe talk to @leokoppel since that's where the working code is?
