For one, the Developer's Reference §6.2. As far as I know this package has no outright violations (this bug is of “minor”-level severity). To be clear, the issues I'm reporting and addressing with this bug report are: * The synopsis of each package should be informative; one of them fails to distinguish that it's specifically for Python 3. * The long description of each package should consist of complete sentences (as you observed). I also wanted to address the ambiguity of “library”; it's not clear whether the synopses are referring to the technical sense of a code library, or the colloquial sense of a simple collection. I offer my suggestion as a way to clarify the use of “library in the synopsis. > I will apply the attached patch instead if you are fine with it. Since that patch also addresses the main issues above, sure I'd be fine with either patch. -- \ “I used to be an airline pilot. I got fired because I kept | `\ locking the keys in the plane.
