Please refer to my thread at the upstream mailing list: https://groups.google.com/d/topic/sphinx-dev/FHgjgSYPYaU/discussion. It is not possible to use python3-sphinx on Raring for the simple reason that in Raring python3-sphinx is at v1.1.3 but python3 is at v3.3.1 and apparently one requires python3-sphinx v1.2 to use sphinx on python3 >= 3.3: see https://groups.google.com/d/msg/sphinx-dev/FHgjgSYPYaU/LffSg_-qCVEJ
It doesn't seem as if this can be fixed on raring unless raring-updates can get python3-sphinx. I submit this bug to keep track of this.
