sphinx-intl errors if conf.py contains tag logic

[aetter]

I use tags to separate "internal" and "external" content in my documentation. So .. only:: internal and .. only:: external.

Then I build with sphinx-build -b html -t external _build/external-html/ or -t internal.

In conf.py, I have several statements like this:

if tags.has('external'):
    html_copy_source = False

This statement causes sphinx-intl to fail on build:

$ make clean gettext

rm -rf _build/*
sphinx-build -b gettext -t external  . _build/locale
Running Sphinx v1.4.9

...

Build finished. The message catalogs are in _build/locale.

$ sphinx-intl update -p _build/locale/ -l fr

I can scrub the if statements before running sphinx-intl, but obviously that's not ideal. Thanks for any help or guidance here!

Thanks for your reporting! I think it's a bug of sphinx-intl. I'll fix it

[shimizukawa]

fixed.

Running Sphinx version 1.6.2 - having the same problem NameError: name 'tags' is not defined. The tags actually get never defined inside conf.py (not imported as well). The docs say it is supposed to just magically work.

[tk0miya]

Sphinx 1.6.2 is too old and not supported now. Please try with 2.0 again. It is the version only official supported. If it also errored, please file a new issue please.
Thanks,

How to define tags in conf.py? For example, if I simply:

tags.add('footag') even after importing them by: from sphinx.util.tags import Tags, I get the error: "tags" is not defined
