I question whether that distinction is important, but if and when it is, then we could use an adjective to clarify. Under the hood, the object we call packages today are just modules.
I think the fact that we used the word "package" in the first place testifies that it *is* important -- otherwise we wouldn't have invented the term. The word "package" covers much more than just the module object that comes into being when you import it. It also implies the associated directory structure, extra import facilities and mechanisms, etc. It's not just a minor variation on the concept of a module. -- Greg _______________________________________________ Distutils-SIG maillist - Distutils-SIG@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/distutils-sig
