It's my local own package, trying to install it and always get the error below.

The reason for the error is because the long_description parameter expects a string, but you have passed in a function. I believe your intent was to call the function, rather than passing the function itself:

from setuptools import setup

def readme():
    with open('README.md') as file:
        return file.read()

setup(name="mypkg",
      version="0.1.0",
      description="BETA",
      long_description=readme(), # call the function here
      long_description_content_type="text/markdown",
      classifiers=[
          "Programming Language :: Python :: 3",
          "Operating System :: (ANY) Windows"
      ],
      url="https://github.com/CENSURED/mypkg",
      packages=setuptools.find_packages(),
      python_requires='>=3.6'
    )
