I am creating a wheel installation for a python (3.6 ) package I have done. Everything works well except a small thing : when I drag and drop the file.wheel in WinPython ( WinPython Control Panel ) I don't see the description of my package ( the one I have put in setup.py in the 'description' key ) I have also a long_description on a rst file... where do I see it once the package is installed ?
I don't see also the description for my package in the list of the installed package... :-(
Any ideas ?
Thanks Christophe
to see a description in WinPython Control Panel, add it manually in your ...\python-3.6.5.amd64\Lib\site-packages\winpython\data\packages.ini file.
there is now official/mandatory description included in an installed package, the closest workaround would be to do "pip search your_package" to get the description of "your_package" from pypi
see https://pip.pypa.io/en/stable/reference/pip_search/
... maybe pip show is even better:
C:>pip show winpython
