How about the following?

$ python setup.py --long-description | rst2html > long_desc.html

Where does rst2html come from?

$ easy_install docutils

on my laptop the script is "rst2html.py" though

Indeed, and the following seems to give a close-enough approximation of what will show on PyPI: bin/buildout -q setup setup.py --long-description | rst2html.py --link-stylesheet --stylesheet=http://www.python.org/styles/styles.css > dist/desc.html cheers, Chris -- Simplistix - Content Management, Zope & Python Consulting - http://www.simplistix.co.uk
