[okfn-help] Beta testing new datapkg release

[Rufus Pollock]

Hi Mike (and Matthew),

I've now removed the urlgrabber dependency (it wasn't actually really
needed atm) and this should simplify install.

With this change in place, I've just released datapkg 0.7 to pypi
(will do official announce early next week) and wondered if you would
be able to do a quick test install again to see that everyone works
ok.

Much appreciated,

Rufus
