Summary: Installation via ‘setup.py’ fails due to missing ‘docutils’ 


Initial Comment:
Here are the steps I used to reproduce this bug:

1. Launch an Ubuntu Server 14.04.1 LTS server on AWS
2. Run 'sudo apt-get update'
3. Run 'sudo apt-get -y install python-setup tools (this installed python-setuptools 3.3-1ubuntu1)
4. Run sudo easy_install python-daemon

I've attached a log out of the output I get from easy_install.

This is a dupe of 314946 and 314945 however I can't comment on either of those issues.  I wanted to provide more repo information - feel free to close as a dupe of one of the other issues.

Let me know if you need any more information.

Thanks - Dylan

Message:
Can't say I am a python expert but it looks like you are importing version.py which depends on docutils prior to calling setup which would actually install docutils. Let me know if that helps.

Message:
The dependency on ‘docutils’ is declared, in both the ‘setup_requires’ and ‘install_requires’ arguments to ‘setup()’.

According to the Setuptools documentation https://pythonhosted.org/setuptools/setuptools.html#new-and-changed-setup-keywords this should cause the ‘docutils’ distribution to be downloaded and installed prior to running any ‘setup.py’ commands.

The package appears to have all the declared dependencies it needs. I would appreciate assistance figuring out why this is insufficient.

I am seeing this as well. This appears to indicate that python-daemon still has a missing dependency on docutils.
