Browse is already being worked on (most recent upload was just rejected 
and I didn't take time to dig into fixing the reasons for that yet) and 
also isn't the simplest one to manage.

I suggest taking the challenge of a pure-Python package first.  There's 
plenty of trickynes in "simple" packaging, like juggling with multiple 
branches (or elegantly avoiding to do so, if you pick an activity 
suporting all branches in a same releases).
