+Note About ``README`` as it pertains to PyPI
+--------------------------------------------
+
+The `description on PyPI`_ for the project comes directly from the
+``README``. Due to the reStructuredText (``rst``) parser used by
+PyPI, relative links which will work on GitHub (e.g. ``CONTRIBUTING.rst``
+instead of
+``https://github.com/GoogleCloudPlatform/gcloud-python/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.rst``)
+may cause problems creating links or rendering the description.
