I see the same error in github runner, when installing the latest version:

  python -m venv venv
  source venv/bin/activate
  pip install b2

Should be fixed in v4.4.1

@chenrui333 Kindly confirm if your issue has been resolved in a new release.

[chenrui333]

but still, the build does not work with docutils 0.22, right?

[olzhasar-reef]

@chenrui333 Indeed, one of the project dependencies relies on functionality in docutils that was deprecated in 0.22. So, we've pinned docutils version for now, until we migrate away from the aforementioned dependency. A separate issue has been created for this dependency problem.
