Re: [Distutils] Detecting rst errors when uploading to pypi

I've confirmed that the bug I was experiencing is no longer a problem. Thanks! On Sun, Dec 28, 2014 at 8:46 PM, Richard Jones wrote:

It has been a while since Pygments was updated in that environment, so I've updated it. The PyPI code required a language argument, so I fixed that as well.

Hey, I'm trying to get my README to render properly on pypi but I haven't found a way to detect the errors pypi is experiencing.

The package I'm trying to upload is here: https://pypi.python.org/pypi/pyramid_celery

Are you talking about https://pypi.python.org/pypi/pyramid_celery/2.0.0-rc2 or https://pypi.python.org/pypi/pyramid_celery/1.4?

The first looks fine now (have you found the error and fixed it already?) while the second looks like it uses some kind of Markdown instead of ReStructuredText:

``` python pyramid.includes = pyramid_celery ```

...

I've checked the README.rst with restview, rst2html, and collective.showdocs and they all render the RST just fine.

Just to be sure, did you try restview's --pypi-strict mode?

...

It seems like I'm not the only one having this issue: https://bitbucket.org/pypa/pypi/issue/161/rest- formatting-fails-and-there-is-no-way

So what is the recommended route for debugging the problem? I would really like to fix it but without know the problem I would just to make random guesses.

restview --long-description is what I use (in the source tree with a setup.py: this runs setup.py --long-description and parses the output in --pypi-strict mode).

If that fails to find the error, I try to copy & paste the long_description text from PyPI into a text file and use restview --pypi-strict directly.

If that fails, I end up bisecting the long_description text in the web form, to see where it starts failing.

If it's not my package and I can't edit the long_description on the web, I tend to give up.

I found the error was a .. code-block:: with no language, I fixed the README with this commit:

https://github.com/sontek/pyramid_celery/commit/ fb69dd44143a5b030b48346e6322845194a690fe

restview with --pypi-strict doesn't detect this (but maybe it should?). I even tried ripping the source code from pypi directly to catch the error:

https://gist.github.com/sontek/e58c1cf82931e1478cd2

Using it:

python setup.py --long-description | python check_readme.py

but even that didn't cause the error, I assume because I have a more modern version of pygments. _______________________________________________ Distutils-SIG maillist - Distutils-SIG@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/distutils-sig
