Hi Nico - thanks for writing.
https://github.com/nschloe/betterbib
First, it needs to be available through CTAN. (ctan.org/upload)
Also, it needs to be self-locating, though I'm not sure if you need to
do anything special for this with Python.
That is, the installation on TL would be
/arbitrary/tlroot/bin/PLATFORM/betterbib
-> ../../texmf-dist/scripts/betterbib/betterbib.py
with the subsidiary .py files installed in that same
../texmf-dist/scripts/betterbib/ dir. So the main .py file needs to
find them there, at runtime.
In particular, it must not be required to run Python's usual setup.py
(which I see in your repo) at any point, since the paths are not known.
For an existing example of multi-file python script in TL, see the
pythontex package. (I hope it works.)
Best,
Karl
