I thought I would post a generally help tip that Ian Bicking helped me  
with.  I couldn't figure out why my ReST formatted long_description  
field would not get converted to HTML when I registered my egg with  
the cheeseshop:

python setup.py register

It turns out I had a minor error in my ReST formatting, I didn't  
underline a headline with enough length.  So, the moral of the story  
is if you wonder why you cannot get HTML formatted ReST to display  
when you register your egg, it is possible you have a formatting  
error.  It was tricky for me to discover, because I did not get any  
error message when I uploaded to the cheeseshop, and I just missed the  
minor formatting error when I was viewing the converted HTML document  
I used to preview what I created.
