Install issue OSX about usdmanager HOT 3 CLOSED

While not a full solution, if you don't need a local copy of the documentation built, you can comment out these 2 lines under the "setup_requires" block in setup.py, which should get you past this error:

        "Sphinx>=1.8.5",
        "recommonmark>=0.5.0",

My guess is that your install is pulling in too new a version of Sphinx, which no longer works with python 2. You can try adjusting the range allowed on Sphinx to pull in an older, still-compatible version if needed. I will say that I've never built a python 2 version on Mac. There's a personal (i.e. currently unsupported/unofficial) python 3 branch here that you might have better luck with, which has been built successfully on OSX before.

Indeed, that was my mileage when installing into RHEL 7.6. I did that prescribed bit to allow a setup to work. I didn't look deeply enough about finding a specific Sphinx that would work under 2.7 and usdmanager.

This issue should be resolved with 0004ca2
That commit moves Sphinx and recommonmark out of setup.py's setup_requires section and into docs/requirements.txt (which readthedocs uses for building documentation with the readthedocs.yaml file).

It will no longer attempt to install Sphinx during a python setup.py install command, which was the cause of the above issue.
