Thanks for reporting problems with reproducible results :-)

I see the same behaviour.

That contradicts the Setuptools documentation, or I'm misunderstanding
it. The ‘setup()’ ‘setup_requires’ and ‘install_requires’ arguments
<URL:https://pythonhosted.org/setuptools/setuptools.html#new-and-changed-setup-keywords>
together should cause ‘docutils’ to be available for impurt during
‘setup.py’ commands.

I believe this is related to an open Setuptools bug
<URL:https://bitbucket.org/pypa/setuptools/issue/209/setup_requires-and-install_requires-dont>
and have reported this failure there.
