[Baypiggies] What is the best way to release simple (Python) open source utilities?

[Andy Mroczkowski]

I've seen https://gist.github.com/ used for a single script. If you're not familiar with Gist, it's essentially a simple pastebin service, but it's back by a git repo so it can be versioned.

A simple implementation can be really short, but I've put the effort into giving it a decent command line interface (e.g. support interactive and non-interactive modes, different signals) and now it is about 100 lines. I'd like to share the code under a BSD license, as it might be handy for others.

I could put it on github, but that also seems like overkill (or do people commonly share scripts that way?). I could wait until I have written more utilities and combine them into one larger package. Any suggestions on the best way to share this code?
