[Python] Sphinx Auto-API Exception: Relative import with too many levels (1) for module 'api'

First time asking a question on here so apologies if I miss some detail.

I'm running sphinx auto-api to generate docs, this has always worked on this project but it's now complaining about some imports in one of the site packages.

Command:

sphinx-build -b dummy docs docs/_build/html --keep-going


I'm not sure what's going on. In my conf.py file I have the following line:

import os
import sys

sys.path.insert(0, os.path.abspath(".."))


I'm running it on a poetry environment.

This is the error I'm seeing.
