The extension is not supposed to work with sphinx 1.0dev, by advice of the sphinx 
developers, because that version's API can change. So if it works there, it's just a 
coincidence.

I will try to reproduce this with current 0.6.x now.

Sure thing - I'll report only the errors occurring with 0.6.x from now on. 
And just verified by myself as well: the problem exists with Sphinx 0.6.2+ as well.

I can't reproduce (dummy sphinx project attached) :-(

Hmm. It fail for me (even with the dummy project):

I'd say the problem is in default 'sphinx.json', in borderPadding:

  1 {"pageSetup": {
  2     "firstTemplate": "coverPage",
  3     "margin-top": "8mm",
  4     "margin-bottom": "8mm",
  5     "margin-left": "12mm",
  6     "margin-right": "12mm"
  7   },
  8   "styles": [
  9     ["heading", {
 10         "backColor": "#F2F2F2",
 11         "textColor": "#20435C",
 12         "borderWidth": 0.3,
 13         "borderColor": "#CCCCCC",
 14         "leading": 10,
 15         "spaceBefore": 16,
 16         "borderPadding": [6,0,0,10],

When compared to stylesheet generated with rst2pdf, the borderPadding seem to be
integer, not a list (see the description of the issue)  

Ok, I think we are close to the issue here. What's your reportlab version? The 
"padding is a list" thing is new, maybe you are using 2.1?

If that's the case, I will fix it anyway because I want to be 2.1-compatible if 
possible.

Yes, the reportlab version is: 2.1

Glad the issue helped (both me and rst2pdf)

Ok, I'll start work on this right away. 
In any case, just as an advice:

Get RL 2.3: it has a ton of bugs fixed.

Fixed (I think) in r827

Please verify.
