Re: [Distutils] Documentation link on PyPI.org

If you search the archive of this mailing list you will notice I asked this exact question about a month or 2 ago (I think). The answer I got was it is used on PyPI.org, but I don't know how to set it with setuptools (flit will probably add support after PEP 517). On Sun, Aug 27, 2017, 13:01

Re: [Distutils] Documentation link on PyPI.org

You can add a URL in the long_description (e.g. to https://read-the-docs.readthedocs.org/ ) It'd be useful to mention that here: https://packaging.python.org/tutorials/distributing-packages/ It would sure be great to be able to express with structured data that a project has [Sphinx] docs at a

[Distutils] Documentation link on PyPI.org

Hi, Is it possible to create a documentation in the section with “Project Links” on the page describing a release on PyPI.org ? That is, can I add some metadata to an sdist or wheel that would add an entry to that list, and if so how? I’m using setuptools to create the

Re: [Distutils] PEP 517 again

Return none makes sense, but I don't think the outcome of that or the "configurable src path" decisions will affect the success of the proposal. On Sun, Aug 27, 2017, 05:59 Paul Moore wrote: > On 26 August 2017 at 23:13, Nathaniel Smith wrote: > > This

[Distutils] PEP 517 - a plan of action

I feel that the discussion on PEP 517 is nearing an end. The outstanding questions are pretty detail-level, and there's little progress being made on them because the situations involved are mostly theoretical in the absence of actual implementations. So I propose the following plan of action: 1.
