Title:
  `python setup.py register` fails if long_description contains RST

Status in Python:
  Unknown
Status in “python2.7” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  In my setup.py long_description is read from external reStructuredText file:
      long_description=open('README.rst').read(),

  And it gives a traceback when I try to register package on PyPI. See
  traceback.txt in attach.

  Step to reproduce:
  1. hg clone https://bitbucket.org/techtonik/python-pager; cd python-pager
  2. hg up -r 24
  3. python setup.py register

  I presume that markup contains errors, but it should not fail with
  traceback.
