Yeah, that history still shows. The first section called "Install the Tools" is only about installing the tools needed for installation.
Well, for packaging, minimally you'll need setuptools, and we recommend using get-pip or pip to install setuptools. And if you're going to work in "develop mode", you'll often do that in a virtual environment, and you'll need pip to get virtualenv (at least using a "normal" installation of virtualenv) But what we can do is add all the "tools" to this section (i.e. add twine and wheel) to this section, and be more clear on what's needed for what.
There is also no clear separation between when the page switches from the installation parts to the packaging parts
I hear you, but otoh, if a section says "Create your own project", it's about creating a project, not installation. I guess I'd personally like to see it filled out more before deciding on chopping it up *again*.
