But it is specific, thanks to the use of namespaces in Python: it’s distutils2.index/packaging.index.  Also take into account that this a module name that will be seen by people writing packaging tools (and thus familiar with “the Python Packages Index”), not end-users which may be Python developers.

Hynek: I don’t understand “I also think that the pypi term is overloaded with both meanings”.
