[okfn-help] Beta testing new datapkg release

[Mike Chelen]

Hi Rufus,
The same urlgrabber error seems to occur when installing from PIP,
even though it looks like 0.7 was properly installed. Tested with
Ubuntu Server 10.10 (on Amazon EC2): http://pastebin.com/2yNtDbDp
Hope this helps determine what is going on :)
- Mike
