Problems installing docutils.

[Egg932]

This plugin does not work at all! I lost a lot of time to try to run it properly.

Don't work on Windows or on Linux.

I retract my opinion if the author proves to correct rst preview by this plugin, for example a publish some video or screencast on YouTube.

Hi! Thanks for the report.

Did you follow the brief and probably not complete enough steps in the Readme? Can you let me what you tried and what errors you received if any?

I can't help too much with Windows as I don't use it, but I can confirm that it works in OSX and Ubuntu.

Here is it working on my mac...

Hi! It's me, but other account, because I forgot password.

You said:

what errors you received if any?

Any? One the same error over and over: http://i.imgur.com/7fskh.png
Note, that I've installed the docutils module before I run the Sublime Text 2. See below

Test the docutils import and version:

[centos@localhost ~]$ python
Python 2.6.6 (r266:84292, Jun 18 2012, 14:10:23)

Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import docutils
>>>
>>> docutils.__version__
'0.9.1'

As you see, the docutils module is definitely (100%) installed properly on the Linux system in the Python global libraries. So what am I doing wrong?

[d0ugal]

Well, it seems that docutils actually isn't definitely (100%) installed properly in the correct Python version. Do you have multiple Python versions installed?

In sublime, can you press ctrl + ` and you should see a python prompt. The keyboard shortcut may be different, I only know the mac one. Once you see it try typing these commands and see if you get the same result as me (you shouldn't see an error).

[Egg923]

Hello again!
Thank you for your answer, assistance and patience. :-)

Do you have multiple Python versions installed?

No. I've only one Python, 2.6.6 version

In sublime console I get following error:

>>> import docutils
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<string>", line 1, in <module>
ImportError: No module named docutils

Could you please give me output from following command from your Sublime Console (Ctrl+`) on your Mac?

from pprint import pprint as pp
pp(sys.path)

If you have any suggestions or are able to bundle docutils with RstPreview I'd love to do that. I tried but couldn't get it to work. It was in a previous release but I removed it due to problems.

[Egg923]

Thx! I noticed one, big difference, that you have a lot more Python paths than I've in Linux.

My output from console (Ctrl+`) after starting Sublime Text 2:

And my sys.path inside ST2:

>>> from pprint import pprint as pp
>>> pp(sys.path)
['/opt/sublimetext2/lib/python26.zip',
 '/opt/sublimetext2/lib/python2.6',
 '/opt/sublimetext2/lib/python2.6/plat-linux2',

 '/opt/sublimetext2/lib/python2.6/lib-old',
 '/opt/sublimetext2/lib/python2.6/lib-dynload',
 '.']

I don't have Mac computer (you lucky man! ;-)) so I don't know why your paths so plentiful.

[Egg923]

If you have some time try run your plugin in Linux in following two, simple steps:

• Download and install VirtualBox from http://www.virtualbox.org/
• Dowload CentOS 6.3 image from http://virtualboxes.org/images/centos/

I'm also having issues installing this plugin, although I'm on Windows 7. I see the same errors as Egg923 when I attempt to run the RST Preview command and when I attempt to import docutils in Sublime's Python console, but I have Python 2.7 installed and I can import docutils just fine via python.exe instead of Sublime.

Here is my sys.path from inside Sublime:

>>> from pprint import pprint as pp
>>> pp(sys.path)
['python26.zip',
 '.',
 u'C:\\Users\\mark.hanna\\AppData\\Roaming\\Sublime Text 2\\Packages\\AAAPackageDev/Lib']

I don't think I've done anything strange, but I have basically no experience with Python. All I've done is follow the installation instructions word for word.

[d0ugal]

@Egg932 Sorry for the lack of reply, was on holiday. I don't really have time to setup a centos machine and test at the moment.

@Cipscis Hmm, that's probably my fault. I don't use windows and don't have a way to test. So some of the instructions are a guess or based on what people have told me. We could do with somebody that is experienced with Python on windows to help out with this.

[Cipscis]

Okay, thanks for the reply. In the meantime I'm just previewing it manually with this online reST renderer. It'd be great to get this plugin working though, so I'll keep an eye on it and if I manage to get it working on my Windows setup I'll let you know what I had to do.

[d0ugal]

As of db036f1 you can now use a virtualenv for docutils thanks to @takuan-osho. I have still to update the README but this may well help you with this.

I am getting this problem too. My mac is running OSX 10.8.2 which uses Python2.7 and I installed docutils using 'sudo pip install docutils' which installs docutils into the system Python2.7. A restart of ST2 fails with the same error noted above - ST2 can't import docutils. I'm new to ST2 but a little investigation seems to indicate that I should in fact be installing docutils into the ST2 embedded Python (which I think is Python2.6).
Does this sound right?

[d0ugal]

I think ST2 uses the system Python2.6. So, sudo easy_install-2.6 docutils may work.
