Updating a pypi module

To update a pypi module version, create a new tag on github with the latest changes you want versioned. After you have pushed the new tag, update setup.py to change the version to that tag number. Then run the following command:

python setup.py sdist upload

This will upload the new version to pypi. If you are having trouble on windows, you need to set the HOME environment variable to where your .pypirc file is located so that you can be authenticated.
