[Docutils-users] Does the doctree reader work?

[Matěj C. <mc...@ce...>]

I was trying to compensate for openSUSE package of python3-myst-reader
missing script for missing `myst-docutils-odt` script by trying to pipe
the output of `myst-docutils-xml` to `docutils` and the result doesn't
seem to work:

    $ myst-docutils-xml becoming_adult.md | docutils --traceback --reader=doctree --writer=odt - becoming_adult.odt
    Traceback (most recent call last):
      File "/home/matej/.bin/docutils", line 8, in <module>
        sys.exit(main())
                 ~~~~^^
      File "/usr/lib/python3.13/site-packages/docutils/__main__.py", line 84, in main

                                         ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

      File "/usr/lib/python3.13/site-packages/docutils/readers/doctree.py", line 44, in parse
        self.document.transformer = transforms.Transformer(self.document)
        ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
    AttributeError: 'str' object has no attribute 'transformer' and no __dict__ for setting new attributes
    $ 

Is this supposed to work?

Best,

Matěj
