[Github-comments] [geany/geany] ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'docutils' (#2819)

[elextr]

Configure checks for rst2html and finds it (shows in your config.log) but IIRC rst2html is part of docutils, so its usually impossible to have one without the other, so there is no specific test for docutils.

If you have an old rst2html installed configure would find it, but if rst2html is python 2/3 agnostic but other parts of docutils are Python 2/3 specific then it would run on your shiny new Python3 but you would get an error if an old docutils was installed, as has happened here.

Or to put it another way, you have rst2html as checked by configure, but it was a broken rst2html.  I don't think its up to configure to check that every possible tool works right (except compilers), just that its exists.  So I would call this not an error with Geany or even autotools, just your system was broken.
