Comment:

 Replying to [comment:7 jhpalmieri]:
 > Do you understand why the Sphinx installation process says "Adding
 docutils 0.7 to easy-install.pth file" but doesn't actually do anything?

 Well, Sphinx just uses distutils / distribute, and IIRC that prints that
 message.

 A problem we previously had was that packages found in Python's current
 path won't get added, despite of the message (which is printed in
 advance).

 prerequisites in SPKG.txt should be changed (or explained, if it should
 stay as is).

 Yes, I can correct them. AFAIK a couple of spkgs have rather "random"
 numbers as the minimal version of some other package required; usually
 simply the current version in Sage is taken. (And not even the upstream
 pages always give the correct versions required, some not even the full
 list of requirements.)
