pip - 为什么 pypandoc 给出错误“RuntimeError：缺少格式！” 在这个 setup.py 脚本中？

Question

我有setup.py一个模块的脚本。此setup.py脚本具有将 Markdown README 文件转换为 reStructuredText（适用于 PyPI）的功能。当尝试使用 pip ( sudo pip install supermodule) 安装此模块时，会出现以下错误：

Collecting supermodule
  Downloading supermodule-2017.1.12.2329.tar.gz
    Complete output from command python setup.py egg_info:
    Traceback (most recent call last):
      File "<string>", line 1, in <module>
      File "/tmp/pip-build-GijMOu/supermodule/setup.py", line 43, in <module>
        main()
      File "/tmp/pip-build-GijMOu/supermodule/setup.py", line 14, in main
        long_description = pypandoc.convert("README.md", "rst"),
      File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/pypandoc/__init__.py", line 50, in convert
        outputfile=outputfile, filters=filters)
      File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/pypandoc/__init__.py", line 68, in _convert
        raise RuntimeError('Missing format!')
    RuntimeError: Missing format!

出了什么问题，我该如何解决？

setup.py脚本如下：

#!/usr/bin/python
# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-

import pypandoc
import setuptools

def main():

    setuptools.setup(
        name             = "supermodule",

        description      = "super module",

        py_modules       = [

        install_requires = [

                           "propyte",

                           ],
        scripts          = [
                           "supermodule_test.py"
                           ],
        entry_points     = """
            [console_scripts]

    )

def read(*paths):
    with open(os.path.join(*paths), "r") as filename:
        return filename.read()

if __name__ == "__main__":
    main()
