Put long description and changelog on PyPI #74

Closed peterdemin closed 6 years ago

peterdemin commented 6 years ago

Currently, https://pypi.org/project/releases/ has only "Project Description UNKNOWN". I find it useful to have changelog on PyPI page so that library users will need less time to figure out what changed in the new release. But having changelog generated with Sphinx makes it hard to include it from setup.py. I guess there is a way to make it, and it would be nice if Releases had this setup as an example.

Cannot believe this went overlooked, thank you! We simply never did the usual "pull in README as long_description in setup.py". Fixing this now...

Re: the other question (seems unrelated?) I agree it might be neat to get changelogs onto PyPI, but yea, it would require executing the entire Sphinx build-chain from setup.py. It would also make for an extremely long page for projects with a lot of development! 😆
