[issue15266] Perform the same checks as PyPI for Description field

[Steve Dower]

Steve Dower  added the comment:

Distutils is now deprecated (see PEP 632) and all tagged issues are being 
closed. From now until removal, only release blocking issues will be considered 
for distutils.

If this issue does not relate to distutils, please remove the component and 
reopen it. If you believe it still requires a fix, most likely the issue should 
be re-reported at https://github.com/pypa/setuptools

My bad... I only added a comment but forgot to remove the easy keyword. It's 
now removed ;-)

@Giovanni ,

If you look closely, the issue still has the easy issue label that is why you 
still see it in the "Easy issues" list. Which means he has not removed the 
label yet.

Hi Victor,

This is the 3rd issue in a row I found in the "Easy issues" list where you 
added a comment saying

> I remove the "Easy" label

Why are can I still find these issues in the "Easy issues" list?

Do you mean that you already removed the "Easy" label or that you plan to 
remove it?

This issue is 7 years old: it's far from being "newcomer friendly", I remove 
the "Easy" label.

Wichert Akkerman added the comment:

Éric is not quite correct: I currently have a package where "python setup.py 
check" does not show any error, but PyPI still refuses to format my long 
description. Likewise "python setup.py --long-description | rst2html-2.7.py > 
/dev/null" also does not reveal any errors or warnings, so I am at a completely 
loss as to why PyPI refuses to format my documentation.

We can certainly try to remember, but I expect this is prone to fail:
the next change may well be five years from now, at which point nobody
remembers that distutils2 also has such a check.

Chris Jerdonek  added the comment:

With regard to the maintenance issue, what about the idea of aiming for PyPI to 
include that logic in a separately packaged module?  Then there would be no 
need to cut and paste -- just include the right version.

If that were done, depending on how the pysetup change is done, users might be 
able to use PyPI's latest version even if pysetup was out of synch and hadn't 
been updated yet.

Éric Araujo  added the comment:

This easy way exists: “pysetup run check” checks the rst syntax; retitling.

Basically it’s a matter of using the same settings (no file inclusion, etc.) as 
PyPI and checking the URI schemes.

One maintenance issue is the possible discrepancy between PyPI’s checks and 
distutils2’s; if the PyPI maintainers agree to announce all changes to 
catalog-sig it could work (just like for classifiers).
