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.
