It is distutils speak:  distributions are "releases" of projects.  The
project name oftent, but not always, corresponds to the name of the
Python package which makes up the project's guts.  'setup.py' is what
defines a project, actually, and the 'name' argument passed to the
'setup()' command is the project name.

I'll stay mute on the parts bit, as I understand it less than you do.
