We must remember that what is obvious for us is *not* obvious for newbies.
For us it's obvious that Python packages are on PyPI and that
packages.python.org is documentation. But for, say, a Java programmer who's
just touching Python for a small project, this is a possible point of
confusion which can make him think, "Man, Python people are weird, what is
this 'pypi' thing?"
