    TypeError: _setup_autodoc.<locals>.stringify_annotation() got an unexpected keyword argument 'short_literals'


This is a problem betweene sphinx 8.2 and sphinx-autodoc-typehints. It
was supposed to have been fixed in sphinx-autodoc-typehints 3.2.0 by
https://github.com/tox-dev/sphinx-autodoc-typehints/pull/525
but we still see the error.

petsc4py had the same problem, Bug#1114259, fixed upstream
