Stop Sphinx from Hyphenating

I have a similar question to this, except for Sphinx and RST. Namely, I would like to prevent text from being hyphenated at the end of the line.

For example I want this:

This is my long sent-
ence.

To be:

This is my long
sentence.

How do I do this?

After reading pointers from @steve-piercy, I managed to find a solution for the problem. I need to customize conf.py in my project. My conf.py has the following settings:

# ...
# ...

# -- Options for LaTeX output ------------------------------------------------

latex_elements = {
    # The paper size ('letterpaper' or 'a4paper').
    #
    'papersize': 'a4paper',

    # The font size ('10pt', '11pt' or '12pt').
    #
    'pointsize': '12pt',

    # Additional stuff for the LaTeX preamble.
    #
    'preamble': r'''
    \usepackage[none]{hyphenat}
    '''

    # Latex figure (float) alignment
    #
    # 'figure_align': 'htbp',

}

# ...
# ...

I am using Sphinx 1.8.2, MikTex 2.9 and Strawberry Perl 5.28.1. This new change in conf.py will download new perl package(s).

Hyphenation is implemented by the stylesheet basic.css in the Sphinx theme "basic".

div.body p, div.body dd, div.body li, div.body blockquote {
    -moz-hyphens: auto;
    -ms-hyphens: auto;
    -webkit-hyphens: auto;
    hyphens: auto;
}

You can override these styles with your own. See my answer to How do I customize Sphinx RtD Theme default search settings?

Your theme may have JavaScript or other styles that implement hyphenation.
