I've just installed retext with pip3 install retext as root on my Devuan ASCII system. All the prerequisites seem to have been in place already. Yet - when I try to run it (/usr/local/bin/retext) I get:

Using configuration file: /home/eyalroz/.config/ReText project/ReText.conf
Traceback (most recent call last):

    codecs.lookup(locale_encoding or '') # None -> ''
NameError: name 'locale_encoding' is not defined

(PS - Devuan ASCII is Debian Stretch without SystemD.)

Why is this happening and how can I fix it? I'm not much of a Python expert, to say the least.

This sounds similar to https://sourceforge.net/p/docutils/bugs/321/.

Please try upgrading docutils to version 0.14 or backport this upstream patch: https://sourceforge.net/p/docutils/code/8119/.

That solved it, thank you.
