PyPi only rendering first line of long_description

Yesterday, I published the initial alpha of my project on PyPi. This release has a correctly-rendered description.

Today, I made some additions to the README and now PyPi is only rendering the first line in the file, regardless of what’s actually there.

• Current PyPi Release
• Current README

I’ve checked my README both with readme_renderer via setup.py check -r -s and also using restview, and everything seems to be just fine. I’m using Python 3.6.1 when checking that way. Additionally, GitHub appears to be perfectly happy with the README.

Is this a bug, or did I miss something obscure?

EDIT: rstcheck finds no errors either.

PyPi doesn’t render the top header, but I’m assuming this is intentional.

Yes, this is intentional.

I can’t help but feel like the line endings shouldn’t cause this problem, though.

Agreed. Looking a little deeper it seems like the blame lies on pkginfo (which twine uses):

>>> import pkginfo
>>> pkginfo.SDist('melcloud-0.0.3.tar.gz').description
"This is a module providing access to Mitsubishi's `MELCloud <https://www.melcloud.com/>`_ API."

Going to close this since you’ve resolved it and it’s definitely not an issue with readme_renderer. Perhaps this should be raised over at the pkginfo issue tracker instead?

As I noted on the LP bug:

The “body” part of the ‘METADATA’ file is returned by ‘email.parser.Parser.get_payload’. ‘pkginfo’ does no other handling of it.
