Make sure we have everything and find commands needed to register

1. README.txt

"To accomodate Windows users, your “read me” file should include a .txt extension, and it should use Windows-style carriage returns. Just because you use a fancy text editor that runs from the command line and includes its own macro language, that doesn’t mean you need to make life difficult for your users. (Your users use Notepad. Sad but true.) Even if you’re on Linux or Mac OS X, your fancy text editor undoubtedly has an option to save files with Windows-style carriage returns."

2. scripts folder should have same name as root directory (h5hep) and should have init.py

"Just put the httplib2 directory in the root directory, so you have an init.py file within an httplib2/ directory within the httplib2/ root directory" where httplib2 is h5hep

3. docs directory

The docs/ directory contains several .html and .css files and an images/ subdirectory, which contains several .png and .gif files. (This will be important later.) Also, in keeping with the convention for (l)gpl-licensed software, it has a separate file called COPYING.txt which contains the complete text of the lgpl." Not sure what license we're using

4. Steps for registering

python setup.py register sdist bdist_wininst upload

• Register as a user and submit the package. When you release your project for the first time, Distutils will add your software to the Python Package Index and give it its own url. Every time after that, it will simply update the project metadata with any changes you may have made in your setup.py parameters.
• Press 2 to register as a new user or 1 to use existing log in

FWIW, here's a simple module that I use that can be installed from pip. So this person registered their stuff and some point I assume using this github layout.

I followed the procedure outlined at the link below and I think it works!
