It means the same thing.

Yes I do...

I have the following code:

--code-------

import pkg_resources

ws = pkg_resources.WorkingSet()

for i in ws:
    s = str(i)
    print s

--end code---

That tells me what packages I have...

The above code will tell me...

both packages will appear in the list.
