I don't envy the Brew developers who take the blame when Apple breaks things underneath them. I still boggle at the fact that the clear majority of people use operating systems that lack integrated package management. This problem has been solved for 25 years.

My fault, for some reason sphinx from brew installed its own private python so I had to do the pip at that.

Apple's python 2 doesn't use pip

$ sudo easy_install src/docs/sphinx_docs/requirements.txt Processing requirements.txt error: Not a recognized archive type: src/docs/sphinx_docs/requirements.txt

Is this thing supported only for python3?

Perhaps. Python2 is EOL. Try this

python3 -m pip install --user -r src/docs/sphinx_docs/requirements.txt
