Yeah--that'd be fine, though I'm not particularly good at command line 
argument aesthetics.

This is really a minor issue that I was confused upon most likely because 
"package" in this case doesn't necessarily indicate "tar.gz file" to me in 
a Python context.  Even a trivial change to the help text indicating that 
it's the full path to the .tar.gz file would be fine.

So changing:

    package path on local file system

to:

    path of .tar.gz package on local file system

would be fine.

Hope that helps--
