Avoiding download of intersphinx inventories during build

[Nikolaus Rath <Nikolaus@rath.org>]

Hello,

The python module I'm packaging uses intersphinx. Since the debian
package rebuilds the documentation from the sources, the package needs
to download the inventories:

Running Sphinx v1.1pre
loading pickled environment... not yet created
loading intersphinx inventory from http://docs.python.org/objects.inv...


Now, I understand that downloading files during build is a big no, but I
don't quite know how to handle this. Should I ship the pickled sphinx
environment as a debian patch? This seems rather fragile..

Any suggestions?

Thanks,

   -Nikolaus
