This issue is 6 years old and has a patch: it is no newcomer friendly, I remove 
the "easy" keyword.

[issue17311] use distutils terminology in PyPI package display section

[Nick Coghlan]

Nick Coghlan added the comment:

Sorry for the long silence on this one folks.

I agree the use of package and home page in the referenced section is 
confusing. For home page, I'd suggest using the phrase distribution page 
instead (unless Donald has a different suggestion based on his current work on 
the next generation PyPI implementation).

As far as the ambiguous package goes, for the PyPA docs, we ended up settling 
on the following set of terms (from 
https://packaging.python.org/en/latest/glossary.html):

  import package = the runtime meaning of the term package
  distribution package = the PyPI meaning of the term package
  distribution = shortened term for distribution package
  package = short for either import package or distribution package, 
depending on context. For a great many packages, there's a one-to-one 
correspondence between the import package and the distribution package, which 
is why folks are often surprised to learn there's a difference.

With the distutils docs normally using package to mean import package, then 
they should use the explicit distribution or distribution package when they 
mean the other sense.

Nick being the current shepherd for packaging discussions and the instigator of 
the new version-independent documentation, I’d like to let him take a decision 
on this.

[issue17311] use distutils terminology in PyPI package display section

[Chris Jerdonek]

New submission from Chris Jerdonek:

As suggested by Éric in a Rietveld comment to issue 16406, this issue is to 
make the PyPI package display section of the distutils docs use the right 
terminology:

It’s too bad this part of the documentation use “package” with the meaning 
used on PyPI instead of following the naming conventions used in the rest of 
the distutils docs (see glossary).  Here I don’t know when “package” and “home 
page” mean pypi.python.org/project or pypi.python.org/project/release (the 
former being a shortcut to the latest release page).
