healthy checks the health of a Python package from its pypi listing

The package is given a score, based on this formula: :

Starting score                      = 0
Has license                         + 20
Has release files                   + 30
Has homepage                        + 10
Updated in last 6 months            + 15
Has summary                         + 15
Has description                     + 30
Has author name or email            + 10
Has Python classifiers              + 15

Results are color coded, based on the score
