Do you may know what should I do,
I tried to reinstall setuptools but nothing

Hey @albertotono,

I cannot really reproduce your error. Reinstalling setuptools probably does not help, as run.py is run inside blender's python environment.
One thing you could try is, removing your current blender installation, then running BlenderProc (e.q. the basic example) to download blender and setup its python environment again from scratch.

I did sudo snap remove blender, but the folder that has been created running the example is still there, how can I remove it ( and uninstall it properly?!

I unistalled but, I am not sure now why I have this

Hey @albertotono ,

this seems all very strange. Its always hard to get sphinx to work, especially in the blender environment.
However, I have good news for you, we have now hosted the rendered docs on github pages: https://dlr-rm.github.io/BlenderProc

So, I thinks its not necessary anymore for you to build the docs locally, you can just look it up online.
There are some smaller bugs in the formatting of the docs at the moment, but we gonna hopefully resolve them in the next few days.
