+    d/s/examples/N/Importing Notebooks.ipynb: disable execution.
+    
+      This notebook example includes writing to the directory of another
+      module, usually resulting in a doc build failure.  Therefore we
+      disable its execution by nbsphinx.
+    
+    Closes: #2372
+    See-Also: https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=626860
