Thanks to Léo El Amri and Thomas Jollans for their quick and
helpful replies to my question about "Package creation documentation".
Beyond that, I'd like to encourage people on this list to review
the Wikipedia article on "Python (programming language)",[1] especially
the claim that "a package is a Python module with an __path__
attribute", which I added on 2018-09-24 to help me understand the
distinction.
That Wikipedia article has averaged over 6,000 views per day over
the past 3 years. Therefore, any improvements will benefit lots of people.
If you have suggestions for how the article might be improved,
you can post them to the "Talk" page associated with that article or
send them to me. If you are "autoconfirmed" with the Wikimedia system,
you can make the changes yourself.
Thanks,
Spencer Graves

Hello Spencer,

Where can I find a reasonable tutorial on how to create a Python
package?
IMO, the best documentation about this is the tutorial:
https://docs.python.org/3/tutorial/modules.html#packages
According to the Python 3 Glossary, "a package is a Python module
with an __path__ attribute."[1]
What you are looking at are the technical details of what a package is.
Incidentally, if you follow the tutorial, everything will get in-place.
I found "packaging.python.org", which recommends "Packaging Python
Projects"[2] and "An Overview of Packaging for Python".[3]
packaging.python.org is centered on "How to install and distribute
Python packages (Or modules)"
