(It's not a lot of work; but I just have too much else on my plate! and I don't actually use those wrappers myself.) So I have decided to break the package into two separate repositories:

Hi David,
I semi-regularly use these tools, and it would be a shame to see them orphaned. I've added myself as a watcher on the GitHub repos. Please let me know if anything else is required.
