How to exclude some files or directories ?

Use exclude_patterns in your conf.py file.

If you want to exclude the .venv directory produced by pipenv when using PIPENV_VENV_IN_PROJECT=1

# List of patterns, relative to source directory, that match files and
# directories to ignore when looking for source files.
# This pattern also affects html_static_path and html_extra_path .
exclude_patterns = [
        '_build',
        'Thumbs.db',
        '.DS_Store',
        # pipenv virtualenv with PIPENV_VENV_IN_PROJECT=1
        '.venv'
]
