Lennart, like you said, there's not much confusion for the majority of cases where the distribution-package (distribution) contains only one module-package. That is, if my CheeseWheel dist-package contains exactly one module-package (named cheese_wheel), then there's pretty much no confusion. But, of course, there are cases when it's more complicated than that, and (IMO) using one term for both will lead to confusion. ---John _______________________________________________ Distutils-SIG maillist - [email protected] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/distutils-sig
