For the record, the Python documentation covers this aspect of PyPI: http://docs.python.org/distutils/packageindex.html#pypi-package-display It also includes some troubleshooting info. However, it doesn't include anything about PyPI reading README.rst, etc if long_description isn't available (which maybe should be added). --Chris _______________________________________________ Distutils-SIG maillist - Distutils-SIG@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/distutils-sig
