Long input spills into other fields in setup.cfg

Hey there, I just tested cookiecutter with data from a package of mine, and I spotted a possible issue in setup.cfg: apparently, my long package description spilled into other fields of [metadata]. Here's a snippet from my setup.cfg:

[metadata]
package_name = lcps
description = lcps is a tool to search for transit-like features (i.e. dips) in photometric data.
long_description = lcps is a tool to search for transit-like features (i.e. dips) in photometric data.
author = Astropy Developers
author_email = Its main purpose is to restrict large sets of light curves to a number of files that show interesting behavior (i.e. drops in flux). While lcps is adaptable to any format of time series, its current I/O module was designed specifically for photometry of the Kepler spacecraft. It extracts the pre-conditioned PDCSAP data from light curves files created by the standard Kepler pipeline. It can also handle csv-formatted ascii files.
license = BSD 3-Clause
url = lcps uses a sliding window technique to compare a section of flux time series with its surroundings. A dip is detected if the flux within the window is lower than a threshold fraction of the surrounding fluxes.5
edit_on_github = False
github_project = matiscke/lcps
# install_requires should be formatted as a comma-separated list, e.g.:
# install_requires = astropy, scipy, matplotlib
install_requires = astropy
# version should be PEP386 compatible (http://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0386)
version = 0.4.dev50
# Note: you will also need to change this in your package's __init__.py
minimum_python_version = 2.7

Maybe @Cadair is right and it's a jinja2 issues, the 2.8 release is almost 3 years old.

[matiscke]

Thanks for the hint. I tried and updated Jinja2 to 2.10, and built a new package with cookiecutter. The result is the same as above.

[astrofrog]

I think cookiecutter doesn't deal well with multi-line input. However I removed long_description as a variable in #438 so maybe we don't need to worry about this anymore?
