Comment 13 for bug 743339

To verify my suspicions, I emailed the author of the rst2odt.py writer and he verified that the information on his web page is no longer current, quoting:
Rob -

Now that the odf-odt writer is in the docutils distribution,
whenever I make a change to it, I update it in the Docutils
subversion repository. And, I have not been keeping that version at
my Web site up-to-date.

So, you are best off downloading Docutils from the Subversion
repository, and installing that.

If using Subversion is a problem, use the latest snapshot of
Docutils.

You can find out about downloading Docutils here:

   http://docutils.sourceforge.net/

Look under "Download".

In the Docutils distribution, odf-odt writer is under:

   docutils/docutils/docutils/writers/odf_odt/

Sorry for the inconvenience. I'll go update my Web page on odf-odt
writer so that it will say something like the above.

If you have more questions, please let me know. And, thanks
for letting me know about the out-of-date Web page of mine.

- Dave

Rob -

One more note (in addition to my previous email).

The document that you really should be reading
(about odf-odt writer) is this one:

   http://www.rexx.com/~dkuhlman/odt.html

It's the same as the one in the Docutils distribution.

Hope this helps.

I have the most current version of docutils installed. Still no go.
