Ok, found it. The package is "python-docutils" in Ubuntu.

So I've compiled, and now I want to install it, but not in /usr/local 
because that's where I have my current version of Mercurial. I want to 
put it in /home/daniel/.local, so this is what I did:

export PREFIX=/home/daniel/.local
make all
make install

But it still tries to install to /usr/local:

copying build/lib.linux-i686-2.6/mercurial/sshrepo.py -> 
/usr/local/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/mercurial
error: could not delete 
'/usr/local/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/mercurial/sshrepo.py': 
Permission denied
make: *** [install-bin] Error 1


:-(

Daniel.
