Product description on pypi is not formatted

[hartwork]

Hi!

There is two pieces to this: (1) marking the description as markdown and (2) requiring recent enough setuptools in setup_requires. (1) is already done at

python-colorlog/setup.py

Line 9 in 07fe00e

long_description_content_type='text/markdown',

Looking at colorlog's PyPI page today, (2) seems to no longer be a problem in practice, probably because the person who uploaded used recent enough setuptools. For a clean fix, I suggest to apply something like https://github.com/hartwork/surrogates/blob/ad2991d5e628d3c66eeb51e9c6bf5b3f11b11596/setup.py#L21-L23 nevertheless to have a stable full fix.

What do you think?

I've noticed this but not really sure what the problem is. With other projects I have, the setup.py metadata describing the file as markdown works and it renders correctly: https://github.com/borntyping/python-colorlog/blob/master/setup.py#L8-L9

It might be related to the packages in your environment: https://packaging.python.org/guides/making-a-pypi-friendly-readme/#including-your-readme-in-your-package-s-metadata

Try: python3 -m pip install --user --upgrade setuptools wheel twine

setuptools has to be at least version 38.6, so upgrading the packages in your environment then pushing should fix the formatting.
