tox don't read setup.cfg

I'm new to python and have some problems with tox.

My tox.ini

tox.ini

[tox]
envlist = py36

[testenv]
passenv = TOXENV CI TRAVIS TRAVIS_*
usedevelop = True
install_command = pip install -U opts packages
deps = -rtoxinidir/test-requirements.txt
-rtoxinidir/requirements.txt
commands =
python -V
py.test -vvv -s

[testenv:docs]
commands =
python setup.py build_sphinx


My setup.cfg

setup.cfg

[build_sphinx]
source-dir = docs/source
build-dir = docs/build
all_files = 1

[upload_sphinx]
upload-dir = docs/build/html


python setup.py build_sphinx works just fine, but /Users/ben/development/python/test/.tox/docs/bin/python setup.py build_sphinx says

python setup.py build_sphinx

/Users/ben/development/python/test/.tox/docs/bin/python setup.py build_sphinx

error: invalid command 'build_sphinx'

My environment

$ python --version
Python 3.6.0

$ /Users/ben/development/python/test/.tox/docs/bin/python --version
Python 3.6.0

You need to install sphinx as part of your dependencies in order to use the build_sphinx setuptools/distutils command.

sphinx

build_sphinx

For instance:

[testenv:docs]
deps =
# you may also need [testenv]deps here if you depend on the
# parent deps
sphinx
commands =
python setup.py build_sphinx


test-requirements.txt
