Today, I registred my package on PyPI repository. In other words, you just have to type:

pip install FrictionlessDarwinCore

to get it on your computer and you can start using the CLI:

fdwca --help

  -f, --format [json|md]  Output format
  --help                  Show this message and exit.

Hurrah! your DarwinCore archives are now compatible with Data Package specifications and a bunch of Frictionless Data Software such as OpenRefine3.0 or goodtables.
