[New-bugs-announce] [issue11913] sdist should allow for README.rst

[Ingy dot Net]

New submission from Ingy dot Net <ingy at ingy.net>:

When I upload modules to PyPI, distutils is clucking about a missing README, even though PyPI accepts README.rst, and I am providing that.

Registering pyplay to http://pypi.python.org/pypi
Server response (200): OK
python setup.py sdist upload
running sdist
warning: sdist: standard file not found: should have one of README, README.txt
