Project description displaying UNKNOWN after release update

[willingc]

Howdy folks. We just uploaded a jupyter_client release update. The project description classifier is still displaying UNKNOWN. Other classifiers such as the Links section updated beautifully (thanks!). Not sure if this is a configuration error on our part or an issue. There's a screenshot below and a link to the line in our setup.py source.

It is confusingly named, but description is the summary you see in the grey area up above. The field you're looking at is long_description in setup.py.

Thanks @dstufft. That makes complete sense now. I'll reread the docs and see if I can submit a PR to clarify.

Thanks, @willingc. Quick question -- as a PyPI package maintainer, where would you expect to see some helpful text about how to define what goes in those different areas of the page?

@brainwane I opened a PR where I would have found it helpful. pypa/packaging.python.org#456 😄
