I am struggling to find information about how / where to fill a summary for a PyPI package that can be seen next to the package name when typing pip search <my_package>.

We run a private PyPI server with the pypiserver library and would like all our packages to have this short description, similarly to any package on pypi.org.

In my package's setup.py I filled description and long_description but it still doesn't show us any summary when using pip search.

When I do pip install <my_package> and look inside the downloaded egg, I see the PKG_INFO file with summary field filled appropriately.

I have discovered, there is no summary provided. In pypiserver/_app.py:218 written:

            # We do not presently have any description/summary, returning
            # version instead
