​I don't think there can be a "definitive guide line"​. Unlike the core
language the packaging part of Python is a messy soup of different and
often competing ideas, styles and tools.

So you cannot have an definitive or objective guide for something that's
subjective in nature.

About the README vs DESCRIPTION - ask yourself, what would you use README
for then? I believe that's absolutely nothing. You only need one. :-)
