Unable to upgrade to 0.2.5

The following error is given when trying to install v0.2.5 via pip:

Hi @kramrm, thanks for reporting the issue. We are taking a look at it.

Heya - I'm getting this too and I think it's 'just' a packaging niggle, where the README.rst isn't present.

Here's what the PyPi package contains (downloaded from here)

~/Downloads/rtr $ tree rich_text_renderer-0.2.5
rich_text_renderer-0.2.5
├── PKG-INFO
├── rich_text_renderer
│   ├── __init__.py
│   ├── base_node_renderer.py
│   ├── block_renderers.py
│   ├── document_renderers.py
│   ├── null_renderer.py
│   ├── rich_text_renderer.py
│   └── text_renderers.py
└── setup.py

When installing from a clone of the repo, the README.rst is present and setup.py works fine.
However, the Pypi-hosted packaged version of the code lacks the file and so installation blows up:

~/Downloads/rtr/rich_text_renderer-0.2.5 $ python setup.py install
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/Users/steve/Downloads/rtr/rich_text_renderer-0.2.5/setup.py", line 22, in <module>
    with open('README.rst', 'r') as f:
FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: 'README.rst'

I think the fix might be as little as repackaging the source (as 0.2.6), checking that the README is there, and uploading it to PyPi. (I guess that also depends if your packaging tool/script needs a tweak to ensure all necessary files are bundled up.)

Hope that helps!

For others hitting this issue, a workaround in the meantime is to pip install off the current head commit - e.g.pip install -e git+https://github.com/contentful/rich-text-renderer.py@84fdd139bef2bbc02182a7eba2762604d0777956#egg=rich_text_renderer

Hi @rubydog - thanks for the new release, but I'm afraid this is still an ongoing glitch. The README isn't in the collected assets to read:

$ pip install rich-text-renderer==0.2.6
Collecting rich-text-renderer==0.2.6
  Using cached rich_text_renderer-0.2.6.tar.gz (4.7 kB)
  Preparing metadata (setup.py) ... error

  × python setup.py egg_info did not run successfully.

And the source package here seems to still lack the README:

rich_text_renderer-0.2.6

├── rich_text_renderer
│   ├── __init__.py
│   ├── base_node_renderer.py

│   ├── document_renderers.py
│   ├── null_renderer.py
│   ├── rich_text_renderer.py
│   └── text_renderers.py
└── setup.py

I think this issue is worth re-opening, please

@stevejalim I agree the issue still exists. The problem was with the old packaging strategy, we have switched to twine now (PR #22). Hopefully, it should be fixed in the next release.

Cheers

Fixed in #22
