Thanks @angerson . I just put up #109 to handle the package documentation. Also, there is a v1.7.0 tag for this release and we will continue to tag all pip releases.

In order to update the info on the pypi site, it seems I would need to push a new version. Would it be fine to wait for our next patch (1.7.1 most likely) for this info to be updated on the pypi site?

Cool, thanks a lot! This will be a big help.

As long as we know what's coming, I think waiting for the next patch should be fine, as long as it'll be within the next month or so. I'm surprised PyPI manages all metadata through the package, it's not even possible to update the "Homepage" link.
