We have put a lot of energy into putting the full documentation of packages into the package's long description and most packages have this layout (I know, because I did it for most. ;-) So it might be good to use the long description of the package, if the other two methods fail. This would turn on documentation for a lot of packages and we can move them over slowly.
This is now implemented as fallback, take another look at the package listing, like the ZTK list[1]. I had to resort to executing "setup.py --long-description" in a subprocess, unfortunately. Never found out how to do that programmatically.
From a source checkout? There's no other way. Many packages compute their long_description by running code (which reads and concatenates multiple text files).
