py 3.6 truncates output rst

[maphew]

I'm not sure if this is a setuptools or pypandoc issue:

python setup.py bdist_wheel on this setup.py running from Python 3.6.2 :: Anaconda, Inc. on Windows 7 only the 1st line is captured to {wheel}\{package}.dist-info\DESCRIPTION.rst. On python 2.7.5 and 2.7.14 the full file is captured.

Pypandoc excerpt from the script:

try:
    from pypandoc import convert
    def read_md(f): return convert(f, 'rst')

except ImportError:
    print("warning: pypandoc module not found, "
          "could not convert Markdown to RST")

long_description = read_md('README.md')

When run in interactive console the whole file is in the long_description variable

Replicated on 2 machines, though both running Win7. Here's the output of each (.txt added so GitHub allows upload):

• py36_DESCRIPTION.rst.txt
• py27_DESCRIPTION.rst.txt

This looks more like setuptools/wheel problem than a pypandoc one? @machow did you find a workaround?

Replaced the conversion with plan MD as pypi now supports it.
