Hi,
On this page/URL,
http://docs.python.org/distutils/uploading.html
In 7.1, "PyPI package display" there's an example of how to use a file
for the long_description field:
setup(name='Distutils',
long_description=open('README.txt'))
This did not work for me, when I use setup.py register it just gives the
__repr__ object instance string. I had to use something like,
setup(name='Distutils',
long_description=open('README.txt').read())
And then the properly marked up README content will show up on PyPI.
Thanks,
K
