Unfortunately this issue went totally out of my focus and others obviously
did not mind as well. 

Currently the package in Git does not build due to #921779. I admit I
have no idea why #917754 occures but my comparison with python-cycler
(which is able to find the module named 'matplotlib.sphinxext.only_directives')
Gave me some hope that switching back from python3-sphinx to python-sphinx
will solve this.

Regarding bug #882641 I think droping the two tests containing the strings

statsmodels/datasets/tests/test_utils.py:    fn = "raw.github.com,vincentarelbundock,Rdatasets,master,csv,HistData,Guerry.csv.zip"
statsmodels/datasets/tests/test_utils.py:    fn = "raw.github.com,vincentarelbundock,Rdatasets,master,doc,HistData,rst,Guerry.rst.zip"

should do the trick.

Any help to fix this is really welcome.

Kind regards

        Andreas.
