I suppose this is because the tar archive should have been named
"docutils-0.15.1.tar.gz" instead of docutils-0.15.1-post1.tar.gz
(the post1 is only for sub-sub micro releases).

To fix the version issues and the test failures reported by Dmitry,
I suggest a 0.15.2 release with 

* docutils-0.15.2.tar.gz
* docutils-0.15.2-py2-none-any.whl 
* docutils-0.15.2-py3-none-any.whl

(even if no change to 0.15 is required for py3).
