readme:

ReText requires the following Python modules to run (pip will install them automatically):

PyQt5 (5.11 or later) Markups (2.0 or later)

We also recommend having these packages installed:

Markdown — for Markdown support docutils — for reStructuredText support

command line:

pkg_resources.DistributionNotFound: The 'docutils' distribution was not found and is required by ReText

I have updated the README. However, I do not understand how this could happen. Pip should have installed these dependencies. I have just tried to install ReText in a clean virtualenv and I get this:

$ pip install ReText

No idea, for additional complexity I installed it with Ansible.
