The problem is an API change in python docutils

docutils 0.7 -> get_language(language_code)

docutils 0.8 -> get_language(language_code, reporter)

I will report upstream

Upstream bug

rst2pdf-0.16-3.fc15 has been submitted as an update for Fedora 15.
https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/rst2pdf-0.16-3.fc15

rst2pdf-0.16-3.fc15 has been pushed to the Fedora 15 stable repository.  If problems still persist, please make note of it in this bug report.

I've just upgraded to 0.16-3 and throw a similar issue on pdfbuilder.py file. 
Just replacing all get_language(sthing) with get_language(sthing, None) sems to do the trick - for my needs at least.

Weird, 0.16-3 works for me. Could you post the rpm version?

Wait, it does work :) 

I mean, I get not error when i run:
from rst2pdf.createpdf import RstToPdf
rst2pdf = RstToPdf()

I get this error using rst2pdf from sphinx (some doc for my job); and I do not know how to reproduce it from the rst2psf api.

You solved a problem in createpdf.py, the one I have is on pdfbuilder.py; but the point is still the docutils api change.

Btw, here's the version I use:
% rpm -q rst2pdf
rst2pdf-0.16-3.fc15.noarch

Tryed but still not works (same error)

%rpm -s rst2pdf
rst2pdf-0.16-4.fc15.noarch

Could you post the stack trace? I don't know from which call the error comes.

rst2pdf-0.16-4.fc15 does fix the issue I've reported ; I've got no error on my side at the moment.

Hope this is what you're waiting for :

This is strange, because in this function call, my version has 2 arguments and
it works. What is your version of docutils?

% rpm -q python-docutils
python-docutils-0.8-0.1.20110517svn7036.fc15.noarch

I can't reproduce your problem. Please try by removing rst2pdf and docutils and reinstalling again. 

Perphaps you have a different docutils 0.7 package installed somewhere in your system (such as ~/.local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/)

rst2pdf-0.16-4.fc15 has been pushed to the Fedora 15 stable repository.  If problems still persist, please make note of it in this bug report.
