​I don't think there can be a "definitive guide line"​. Unlike the core
language the packaging part of Python is a messy soup of different and
often competing ideas, styles and tools.


Which is EXACTLY why there should be one set of best-practices
recommendations that are the same in all the "official" docs.

I think one Readme.rst is the way to go.

If you want to provide contribution guidelines, etc. they should be in a
separate locations, referenced by the Readme.

So you cannot have an definitive or objective guide for something that's
subjective in nature.

About the README vs DESCRIPTION - ask yourself, what would you use README
for then? I believe that's absolutely nothing. You only need one. :-)
