That would seem to apply primarily because this is a derivative product of a Python distribution. Therefore, your description could be limited to "removed the rest of the distribution" followed by specific details of your changes making Queue into tube.I have made a module derived from the Queue module deliverd with python 2.3. I would like to make this module (called tube) available for other people. However it is not clear to me how I can do this in accordance with the python license.
First of all it seems I have to make a sumary of how my module differs from the original.
Second it seems I have to include the following in my code:
"Copyright (c) 2001, 2002 Python Software Foundation; All Rights Reserved"
Do I understand correctly?
I believe so.
Since the PSF copyrighted the original work from which you are deriving, you have already agreed to do this in any distributed derived work:Because I don't mind the first but I'm not so happy with the second. Are there other things I have to watch out for?

clearly says """provided, however, that PSF's License Agreement and PSF's notice of copyright, i.e., "Copyright (c) 2001, 2002, 2003 Python Software Foundation; All Rights Reserved" are retained in Python 2.3 alone or in any derivative version prepared by Licensee."""
Should we wait until you publish tube and then remove *your* attribution to claim the code as our own?
