It's important to note that the term "package" in this context is being used as
11-
a synonym for a :term:`distribution <Distribution Package>` (i.e. a bundle of
12-
software to be installed), not to refer to the kind of :term:`package <Import
13-
Package>` that you import in your Python source code (i.e. a container of
14-
modules). It is common in the Python community to refer to a :term:`distribution
15-
<Distribution Package>` using the term "package". Using the term "distribution"
16-
is often not preferred, because it can easily be confused with a Linux
17-
distribution, or another larger software distribution like Python itself.
