PyPi page looks strange

Open guettli opened this issue 10 years ago • 2 comments

AFAIK pypi does not understand markdown syntax.

The page of django-sendfile looks strange:

https://pypi.python.org/pypi/django-sendfile

AFAIK there is online converter to convert markdown to restructured text.

It actually is an rst file, but for some reason (that I've never really got round to looking into) it doesn't seem to render on PyPi properly.

I'm guessing there's a subtle syntax difference between it and github.

Though possibly it's related to this:

(as it includes links to other projects)

The problem is missing URL for mod_rewrite. There are two options:

  1. Remove the underscore after mod_rewrite in the text

  2. At the bottom of the file add URL to somewhere (for example documentation for mod_rewrite

    .. _mod_rewrite: http://httpd.apache.org/docs/current/mod/mod_rewrite.html
    

@johnsensible I don't know which option do you prefer
