Unable to build docs; Sphinx complains about intersphinx_mapping

[foutrelis]

I get the following error when running make -C docs text

make: Entering directory '/build/python-sqlalchemy-continuum/src/sqlalchemy_continuum-1.4.2/docs'
sphinx-build -b text -d _build/doctrees   . _build/text

I can build the docs using Sphinx 7 but it still warns about this:

WARNING: The pre-Sphinx 1.0 'intersphinx_mapping' format is deprecated and will be removed in Sphinx 8.
Update to the current format as described in the documentation.
Hint: `intersphinx_mapping = {'<name>': ('http://docs.python.org/', None)}`.
