Dear Python documentarians,
First of all, I would like to thank you for the very well written Python
documentation. It is very clear, concise and easy to read for non native
English speaking persons, like myself.
I noticed an inconsistency in the nomenclature used in section 6
/Modules/ of 'The Python Tutorial'.
Both the terms /module/ and /submodule/ are used seemingly
interchangeably. The term /submodule/ would imply it is part of another
module. However, a module is defined as a file containing python code,
having the extension /.py/. A file cannot contain other files, hence,
the term /submodule/ is not defined in this context. The term
/submodule/ adds unnecessary complexity to the tutorial.
I would suggest to replace all occurrences of /submodule/ by /module/.
Note:
The term subpackage (used for packages within another package) is used
correctly because a package, which is a (special type of) directory, can
contain subdirectories that are packages themselves.
