(For reference, the bug addressed by the upstream change is to work around a Setuptools bug: it treats ‘setup_requires’ as build-time *and* install-time dependencies.) This is a minor packaging bug; I think it does not affect the library's run-time behaviour, is that right? > Please just drop docutils from setup.py.
