Support for Description-Content-Type in py_wheels

py_wheel

Description

PEP 566 added the ability to use different formats markup syntax's in the package description, by introducing the Description-Content-Type field in the metadata. Adding support for setting this field would allow the use of markdown files to be used for the description.

Describe the solution you'd like

A new attribute added to py_wheel that when set will add the Description-Content-Type to the wheel's METADATA file.

The attribute should allow the selection of the current valid values:

  • text/plain
  • text/x-rst
  • text/markdown

Ideally, the variant setting for markdown would be supported, so you can choose either GFM or CommonMark, but it would be fine without this.
