Re: [Distutils] unneeded warning about missing readme in case of rst

warning: sdist: standard file not found: should have one of README, README.txt

The reason for the missing file is that it is called README.rst now because bitbucket and github pick up that extension. Is there something that can be done about this warning?

I think this got changed in distribute for version 0.6.27. From the changelog: Distribute now recognizes README.rst as a standard, default readme file. Not sure if this needs changes on the PyPi server end. Hanno
