I read CONTRIBUTING.md and those were the instructions. I was running
into weird error messages and assumed the cause was tox not being used.

But, nevermind. It was simply that, like in the previous packages, the
PyPI tarball does not include tests. I downloaded a git checkout and
now the tests are running, though with many deselections.

That's correct. It provides a regular executable.

I will bump some versions, enable tests here and send a v2 by the
weekend.
