Re: [Distutils] Another conversation starter - pip documentation in the Python docs

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? :-))

I hear you. I feel the same agony. It think we should use the word "Distribution", but it's hard to compete when PyPI uses "Package". Nick, what do we do? : ) Marcus
