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
