[New-bugs-announce] [issue5732] add a new command called "check" into Distutils

[Tarek Ziadé <report@bugs.python.org> at psf.upfronthosting.co.za]

New submission from Tarek Ziadé <ziade.tarek at gmail.com>:

Right now, both register and sdist commands are implementing a
check_metadata function to check that the metadata are complete enough.

check will refactor this and also add a test to validate that the 
long_description is/is not reST compliant (if asked *and* if docutils is
present)

of course distutils will not introduce a hard dependency on docutils and
both register and sdist wil continue to work the same way (but use check
underneath)
