 It seems like in configuration we check if sphinx.main function is present
 whereas sphinx doesn't have

 ```sphinx.main``` for python3

 Which seems to be failing the installation.

 I checked while installing it on MacOS.

 Need to reproduce for different system if it's a real issue. I was just
 helping someone install xapian so not sure if this is something they did
 wrong.
