[issue21410] setup.py check --restructuredtext -- appears to pass if docutils not installed

[Steve Dower]

Steve Dower  added the comment:

Distutils is now deprecated (see PEP 632) and all tagged issues are being 
closed. From now until removal, only release blocking issues will be considered 
for distutils.

If this issue does not relate to distutils, please remove the component and 
reopen it. If you believe it still requires a fix, most likely the issue should 
be re-reported at https://github.com/pypa/setuptools

[issue21410] setup.py check --restructuredtext -- appears to pass if docutils not installed

[Jeff Hinrichs]

New submission from Jeff Hinrichs:

if you run
  setup.py check --restructuredtext
without docutils installed, it will appear to pass

if you add the -s flag, it will error and inform you that docutils is not 
installed.   

So nothing is reported and return results are the same as a "passing" check.

$ python setup.py check --restructuredtext
running check

$ python setup.py check --restructuredtext -s
running check
error: The docutils package is needed.


The not strict version is a little too loose to be of any good.
