Sorry for the misunderstanding, but I am well aware of the difference of module and package and that the change was of the package. I just came across (by accident) that normalizer is in the smiles module and was wondering about that, because it has no functional connection to smiles (it uses smiles). "uniform platform for structure normalization" sounds a bit like it deserves a module. If it does not, it might be better in standard or extra than in smiles, perhaps? Just a suggestion. Stefan
