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.

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
```

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

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:


 
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.
