This doesn't work here:

Are you using Docutils ≥ 0.3.9? And what exactly do you mean with "doesn't work"?

No I have Docutils 0.3.5 installed… I will try a newer one…

[enrico.straube@…]

after the update to Docutils 0.4 all workes fine..

The fixed resolution is reserved for issues that require code modifications.

I am using docutils 0.4 and reStructuredText does not work since 0.9.5.
See ​http://openmailadmin.ossdl.de/wiki/About/CompareCompetitors .

Are there any other dependencies?

I'm testing that same page content here with Trac 0.9.6 and docutils 0.4 which works fine. Check that you have installed docutils for under the same version of Python as Trac is using. Also turn on logging and check the logs for any errors related to docutils.

[Matthew Good]

The module "pwd" is a core part of Python. If it can't be imported then it seems like something is broken in your Python installation.

Aha! The solution (for me) was to make the trac project directory owned by the webserver's user. (writable by web server user would probably be enough)

I've had this effect as well on upgrade to 0.9.6. The solution for me, on Gentoo, was to re-emerge mod_python.

It works with docutils 0.3.9.
