Blowing my own horn here... :-)

If you install zest.releaser (which many people use to release their 
packages to save them lots of manual work), as an added bonus you get 
the "longtest" script. This does exactly what Jim suggests: it takes the 
long description, sends it through docutils and even opens it for you in 
your browser. Easiest way to check for errors :-)
