Congratulations on reaching such a milestone. Two nitpicks on your release tarball: 1) Standard practice is to include a base directory in the tarball, so that when the user unpacks it, everything isn't dumped into the current directory, but rather into its own, self-contained subdirectory. I don't know exactly how you made your tarball, but this would be as simple as instead of doing this: cd Croizat-1.00b tar czf Croizat-1.00b.tar.gz * doing this (from the parent directory to Croizat-1.00b): tar czf Croizat-1.00b.tar.gz Croizat-1.00b 2) You should exclude the *.pyc files from your released tarball.
