Pypi released package requires sphinx

[aprayez]

Hi,

I noticed that when I pip/uv install ftrack-python-api the whole sphinx toolchain is installed as well.
Is there a specific reason ?

If not, clearing up the requirements/metadata would reduce the surface of attack and weight of apps/services relying on this package !

Thx !

Is there any reason for sphinx-notfound-page being a requirement?

Same on my side, would be great if sphinx dependency could be dropped from:
