[Python] Pandas-dev local setup is failing when building documentation

I am a newbie to open-source and I am fascinated by pandas, also their documentation is great and so is the support documnetation for newcomers.

I have been trying to work on a goodfirst issue here. However, I am facing issue in building documentation using python make.py html, whenever I edit docstrings. FYI, for a fix, I edited, pandas/_libs/tslibs/timedeltas.pyx. And, My documentation build failed. I even removed my edits, but the documentation build is failing still. I am not familiar with Sphinx and pandas uses this for documenation build.

Would highly appreciate if someone can help me figure why is this happening and what maybe the root-cause. Also, a fix for this would be immensely helpful.

The logs in the mentioned file, from screenshot:
