<div class="gmail_extra"><br></div><div class="gmail_extra">BTW, I'm sick and tired of agonising every time I use the word "package" over whether I should be "correct" and use "distribution". Can the guide just come right out and bless the occasionally-ambiguous but commonly-used dual nature of the word "package"? If not, can people start actually *using* "distribution" consistently for what pip downloads and installs, so I can find a few more examples for me to copy when I end up with awkward phrases like "distributing your distribution"...? (You'd never believe English was my native language, would you? :-))</div>
