PyPI README badges — David Winterbottom

Thanks to @kuramanga, it’s now possible to add shiny PyPi badges to your Python project READMEs that indicate the latest released version on PyPI and the total number of downloads.

This screenshot is taken from django-oscar’s README.

Embed these badges in your own repo as Restructured text:

.. image:: https://pypip.in/v/$REPO/badge.png
    :target: https://crate.io/packages/$REPO/
    :alt: Latest PyPI version

.. image:: https://pypip.in/d/$REPO/badge.png
    :target: https://crate.io/packages/$REPO/
    :alt: Number of PyPI downloads

or Markdown:

[![PyPi version](https://pypip.in/v/$REPO/badge.png)](https://crate.io/packages/$REPO/)
[![PyPi downloads](https://pypip.in/d/$REPO/badge.png)](https://crate.io/packages/$REPO/)

The code is available on Github, see also Olivier Lacan’s shields repo.
