I just patched docutils with this and submitted the patch to docutils upstream. Works in my testing. I've still got the wiki page for removing PyXML open: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/User:Toshio/Remove_PyXML with bug reports for all the packages that require PyXML but I guess it's not as critical since there's a workaround. I still haven't heard back from rrakus about whether he is still a big believer in deprecating the PyXML package in Fedora so I guess we'll see what happens. -Toshio
