Description

Hi! 👋

On Arch Linux we are trying to use sphinx-argparse in the context of building man pages for khard, but this fails unfortunately: https://github.com/lucc/khard/issues/356

      File "/usr/lib/python3.14/site-packages/sphinxarg/ext.py", line 18, in <module>
        if ismodule(mock):
                    ^^^^
    NameError: name 'mock' is not defined

This seems similar to #82 but fails differently.

Currently, this means we are disabling the man pages for khard, so it would be awesome if this could be resolved (either here or in sphinx).

Research direction

Start with sphinxarg/ext.py around line 18 and reproduce the import failure with Sphinx 9.1.0, comparing it with issue #82. Confirm the fix by importing the extension successfully and verifying that khard's man-page documentation can build again.
