Fancy PyPI READMEs with Hatch

Your ✨Fancy✨ Project Deserves a ✨Fancy✨ PyPI Readme! 🧐

hatch-fancy-pypi-readme is a Hatch metadata plugin for everyone who cares about the first impression of their project’s PyPI landing page. It allows you to define your PyPI project description in terms of concatenated fragments that are based on static strings, files, and most importantly: parts of files defined using cut-off points or regular expressions.

Once you’ve assembled your readme, you can additionally run regular-expression substitutions over it. For instance to make relative links absolute or to linkify users and issue numbers in your changelog.

Do you want your PyPI readme to be the project readme, but without badges, followed by the license file, and the changelog section for only the last release? You’ve come to the right place!

Note “PyPI project description”, “PyPI landing page”, and “PyPI readme” all refer to the same thing. In setuptools it’s called long_description and is the text shown on a project’s PyPI page. We refer to it as “readme” because that’s how it’s called in PEP 621-based pyproject.toml files.
