Make this a pip installable package

[leouieda]

It would be really nice to have this as pip installable package on PyPI. This way one could add it as a requirement for a manuscript build setup without using git submoule or copying the file over to the paper repo.

I'd be willing to put in a bit of work on this.

@leouieda - I admit I hadn't thought about this - the way I currently use it is to actually embed the script into my repositories. But I see your point that it also could make sense to have it just be a command line script of a more traditional form, which would then be trivial to get via pip install.

So just so I understand better, is that currently how you use it? I.e., you have it somewhere on your PYTHONPATH and you do something like python -m local_build?

@eteq well, I'm looking into using this actually. I though of just copying it to my repo but then I'd also need to copy the license file. If this were a package on PyPI I could place it as a dependency and have people install it with all the rest of the article dependencies.

I want to run it as a command-line program on a Makefile.
