Comment (by jhpalmieri):
This installed correctly, even though I disabled internet access while
installing it. So that's good.
Regarding SPKG.txt: surely Python is a dependency. You should make this
explicit, so that if/when this becomes a standard package, people where it
goes in the makefile `spkg/standard/deps`. Also, I would add a little bit
to the description; for example,
{{{
#!diff
diff --git a/SPKG.txt b/SPKG.txt
--- a/SPKG.txt
+++ b/SPKG.txt

== Description ==
-Pybtex is a drop-in replacement for BibTeX written in Python.
+Pybtex is a drop-in replacement for BibTeX written in Python. That is,
+you can run 'pybtex FILE' instead of 'bibtex FILE'.
We use the bazaar trunk because it is less buggy and more feature-rich.
The latest version is available through this command:

When I ran this on a file, I got this error message:
{{{
amsplain.bst: %
amsplain.bst: ^^^
amsplain.bst: ERROR: Syntax error in line 333: BST command expected.
}}}
but maybe I don't have things configured correctly...
It might be a good idea to write an spkg-check script, which does nothing
if `nose` is not installed, but runs self-tests if it is. This is not very
important right now, but if you have a chance...
Finally, you need an attachment for the scripts repository. See attached.
