rst2s5 can't find theme files

[luca]

When using rst2s5, I noticed is not finding the theme files anymore, making rst2s5 basically useless (or just a poor HTML writer).

>>> docutils.writers.s5_html.themes_dir_path
'/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/docutils/writers/s5_html/themes'

But:

$ dpkg -L docutils-common | grep s5_html.*theme | head -n1
/usr/share/docutils/writers/s5_html/themes

BTW, a workaround is to just copy the files manually to a "ui" subdirectory, for example:

mkdir ui; cp -r /usr/share/docutils/writers/s5_html/themes/default ui/default

But is not trivial at all to figure this out...

Thanks for reporting this.

The "/usr/local" prefix means that you did your own installation of docutils. This works fine here with the installation from repositories (on 13.04):

>>> import docutils.writers.s5_html
>>> docutils.writers.s5_html.themes_dir_path
'/usr/share/docutils/writers/s5_html/themes'

Can you please check if this bug exists for you with docutils from repositories?
