I have found a small workaround by doing a little code change. So create a fork and comment this line out: ```python # A lot of other code app.add_directive('image', ImageConf)...

I'm not sure if we can do here much, as `needpie` is generating relative paths for the default builders like `html`. So from my point of view the functions works...
