ImportError: cannot import name 'Directive'

this issue prevents me making docs with nbsite, for testing i cloned geoviews which seems to be using nbsite for its docs.

cd doc
sphinx-build . _build

Raises error

Configuration error:
There is a programable error in your configuration file:

My sphinx version is 1.7.4 , on googling it i also found someone else has it.

For now nbsite does not work with sphinx >= 1.7, we're currently working with 1.6.7.

Marking this as a bug as I do think we should support sphinx 1.7+ ASAP.

Yes, sorry for the trouble. However, this issue is a duplicate of #35.
