If your OS is Debian/Ubuntu.

For RHEL/Centos the package is python-devel installed via

sudo yum install python-devel

and for other OS's or Linux distros, it may be something else.

You can  also install docutils with

sudo pip install docutils

if you have pip installed, but this may not install other needed python
dependencies.

In short, package names and software installation methods vary widely
and trying to document all the options would probably be confusing in
addition to leaving some out.
