Hey Jeff -

I've been in the same boat with a small but useful utility. I dumped
mine in a github gist (https://gist.github.com/242055/) as the easiest
thing to do but honestly have on my personal todo list getting it up
on PyPi. Partly this would be a learning experience for me (I have
never published code on PyPi) but also this seems like the pythonic
thing to do - then getting the utility would be as simple as
easy_install pydelatt.

Would publishing simple python packages (1 file, 106 lines) be a good
newbie nugget sometime?
