pyscaffoldext-markdown

PyScaffold extension which replaces reStructuredText formatted files by Markdown format (with the help of MyST) except for Sphinx-related files.

Usage

Just install this package with either pip install pyscaffoldext-markdown or conda install -c conda-forge pyscaffoldext-markdown and note that putup -h shows a new option --markdown. Basically this extension will replace README.rst by a proper README.md and activate the support of Markdown files in Sphinx.

Building and Releasing

By default, the tox configuration generated by PyScaffold is compatible with Markdown (as implemented in this extension). This means that (after installing tox with pip or pipx) you can run:

tox -e docs  # to build your documentation
tox -e build  # to build your package distribution
tox -e publish  # to test your project uploads correctly in test.pypi.org
tox -e publish -- --repository pypi  # to release your package to PyPI
tox -av  # to list all the tasks available

Please remember that the command python setup.py release is no longer recommended, so if you don't like tox, please consider using Sphinx and twine directly:

python -m pip install -U pip setuptools wheel sphinx twine
python setup.py bdist_wheel  # to build your package distributions
make -C docs html  # to build your docs
twine upload dist/*  # to release your package to PyPI
