Lint successful, but PyPI rendering failed

I installed rst-lint to verify my readme file after successive failures to render it successfully in PyPI. rst-lint said my file was clean, however, when I uploaded it to PyPI, it did not render the file again.

In order to make a clean .rst file, I had to install a few packages in my computer, like bibtex-pygments-lexer, so that Pygments could recognize and pygmentize BibTeX snippets. In short, I believe rst-lint is not exactly a linter that validates rst files for PyPI, like its README file says. It just validates rst files generally. PyPI still has its own cryptic way to render rst files.

the cause of open source

Free/libre software, more precisely, I would suppose. 🤓

I’m glad we could further advance the cause of open source.
