Thanks for investigating this. There is supposed to be a long
description, but it could be that it is not generated as expected or
is not working in some way. I'm not a very good programmer yet :)

Ahh, I think I've got it. Setup.py generates long_description from
README.TXT if present, or from a hard coded boiler plate if not. In
preparation for a new release coming up soon, another team member
deleted all content in the Readme, since it was outdated and
misleading. So I presume PyPi saw the empty long_description and
bailed.
