Can not render markdown description properly

[drunkwcodes]

I followed the guide and upgraded setuptools and twine, but it didn't render markdown properly after uploading.

And python setup.py check says

python\lib\distutils\dist.py:261: UserWarning: Unknown distribution option: '
long_description_content_type'

Here is my project: https://pypi.org/project/qquiz/

I used twine version 1.11.0 (pkginfo: 1.4.2, requests: 2.18.4, setuptools: 39.0.1, requests-toolbelt: 0.8.0, tqdm: 4.19.8) on Windows.

@drunkwcodes Thanks for the report! Sorry this isn't working for you.

Looks like you're building wheels as well as source distributions, and therefore hitting pypa/wheel#231 (which has an open PR, pypa/wheel#232)

In short: wheel is not writing out the correct Metadata-Version, twine prefers sending wheels to PyPI before source distributions, and PyPI only pulls metadata from the first distribution sent for a new release.

You can wait until that fix to wheel is accepted and merged, or you could fix this by sending the distributions one at a time, with the source distribution first, in your next release. E.g.:

$ python setup.py sdist bdist_wheel
$ twine upload dist/qquiz-0.1.0b4.tar.gz 
$ twine upload qquiz-0.1.0b4-py3-none-any.whl

Thanks for your quick reply, the workaround works well. I should read the whole page before trying!

👌 👌

Thanks! For what it's worth, I note that the markdown rendering isn't perfect: see, e.g., this code block.

Is there a better place to report this (assuming this isn't a problem on my side)?

@defjaf Please raise an issue over at https://github.com/pypa/warehouse/issues, it's been mentioned before but I don't think there's an issue for it, and it seems like it is a trivial styling change we can make (definitely not a problem on your side).

We're also working on adding Github Flavored Markdown (GFM) support at the moment, which might help with a lot of the other CommonMark shortcomings, see pypa/packaging-problems#126.

Added this to the ongoing discussion of PIP566 compliance.

It's not really related to PEP 566 compliance since it's just styling. I created pypi/warehouse#3330.

@di that makes sense: sorry for the extra work!
