I don't get what is the purpose of setup.cfg if you still have to double write deps into setup.py

setup.cfg controls what goes into the Wheel, it's a bit of a hack ATM tbh.

I'm going to close this, thanks for the PR but I think this needs to wait for the standards to catch up and allow specifying which markup rendering should be selected. I had thought about doing it similarly to that, but this only covers the markdown which doesn't render as rst. It does nothing for the markdown which renders as ugly rst. Nor does it allow future expansion into other rendering engines like asciidoc or even plain html.

Thanks again though!

Is it possible to enable explicit per-project setting (beta markdown support)? It seems the only possible way for me in this case.

I also think it is popular to use with markdown, not reStructuredText.
For example, Github.
The reStructuredText makes me depressed !
