The problem is that it's not distributions (although it will test them too). It's "Things that has a setup.py" and "what has an entry on PyPI". This is generally called a package, as in Python *Package* Index. I agree this is confusing. But saying that Pyroma tests distributions would also be confusing. :-) If a decision comes to call these "projects", then I'm fine with that, but currently they are called packages. /Lennart _______________________________________________ Distutils-SIG maillist - Distutils-SIG@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/distutils-sig
