I've just found that the latest version of docutils doesn't run if pyxml is installed (due to the stdlib replacing its own implementations with pyxml's implementation if pyxml is installed.) For now, in rawhide, I've added a Conflicts on PyXml but that's not going to work into the future (not the least because you can't install packages that (perhaps bogusly) require pyxml at the same time as docutils.) I can see several ways forward -- * Deprecate pyxml as you were thinking of doing * Locally patch the python stdlib to not replace its implementation of xml with pyxml's. I don't know if upstream python will take that as python-2.7 is in maintainance mode but they may as it's somewhat agreed that this importing of pyxml is not kosher in upstream (and has been removed in python-3.x) * I can file a bug and we can figure out how to fix PyXML so that docutils works when it's installed. (We may have to do this anyway as there's a chance I may need to push a docutils update to older Fedora for some bugfixes.)
