 The problem seems to be when we pip install -e oslo.config on the
system, then pip install oslo.sphinx in a venv. oslo.config is
unavailable in the venv, apparently because the namespace package for
o.s causes the egg-link for o.c to be ignored. Pretty much every other
combination I've tried (regular pip install of both, or pip install -e
of both, regardless of where they are) works fine, but there seem to be
other issues with all of the other options we've explored so far.

 We can't remove the pip install -e of oslo.config because it has to be
used for gating, and we can't pip install -e oslo.sphinx because it's
not a runtime dep so it doesn't belong in the gate. Changing the
toplevel package for oslo.sphinx was also mentioned, but has obvious
drawbacks too.

 I think that about covers what I know so far.

This just bit me again trying to run unit tests against a fresh Nova
tree. I don't think it's just me either - Matt Riedemann said he has
been disabling site-packages in tox.ini for local tox runs. We really
need to do _something_ about this, even if it's just disabling
site-packages by default in tox.ini for the affected projects. A
different option would be nice, but based on our previous discussion I'm
not sure we're going to find one. 

Thoughts?
