Publish the package to PyPi #12

Can you publish the package to PyPi with the name tikz? It will be more convenient to install and update.

I thought about it, but I'm not sure it's worth the effort. For one, my preferred package name "pytikz", under which a (admittedly small) number of people already know it, is not available. Then, searching for "tikz" on PyPI, there are a number of old and abandoned packages, a bit like a graveyard. The only advantage would be automatic upgrades, but the package is basically feature complete, the last substantial commit was 10 months ago, so there's not a lot to upgrade.

I'll consider it when I have a bit of time.

Btw., it seems you can work around the upgrade issue by using the pip option --upgrade-strategy=eager .
