While we're on the topic of packaging, I have one more request:

Please upload the software (the tarball) to PyPI instead of using the  
Sourceforge URL as download URL. While setuptools itself can (at least  
most of the time) interact with SourceForge, software that replicates  
Egg servers is normally unable to do so. So if people set up a egg  
server mirror all those Sourceforge download URLs turn into pumpkins  
and those packages must be managed manually. Huge pain. So pretty  
please, don't use Sourceforge download URLs. Upload the tarball into  
PyPI.
