PyPI page shows raw ReST source

[mgedmin]

https://pypi.python.org/pypi/pep257 looks like this:

Typically this happens when PyPI encounters a ReStructuredText syntax error or a feature that is explicitly disabled for PyPI (like non-absolute URLs in links).

Usually I use restview's --pypi-strict mode to discover the source of the error, but here restview doesn't complain, so I"m baffled.

Another thing to try is pip install docutils, rst2html.py --strict README.rst, but it may be practically the same. @Nurdok

rst2html --strict doesn't complain either.

A possible debugging strategy would be to edit the long_description field through PyPI's web interface, removing bits, until you can isolate the one that breaks things.

I'll check it out - thanks for the report and the tips, everyone!

Some ideas from #pypa on irc.freenode.net:

mgedmin: maybe they use an archaic version of docutils
mgedmin: for example, the .. code:: directive is supported since 0.9, August 2012

I checked the current master branch against testpypi and it looks okay, so I guess it was fixed somewhere along the way. I will close the issue after it is confirmed against the real pypi server.

There have been several updates on PyPI recently to fix formatting issues found by users. The changes have been deployed to both testpypi and pypi itself. You should be able to close this now if it works on testpypi.

Solved as of version 0.4.1
