To be precise with Python terminology, an importable folder (typically with an __init__.py, but there are exceptions since PEP 420) is a package, a single importable file is a module, and the thing that you get from PyPI as a single unit is a distribution, I believe. In practice, distributions are almost always called packages as well. Thomas
