I hadn't considered this to be an issue - this is new to me. I would use "package" for Python as I do "crate" for Rust. It is just the terminology used on the website https://crates.io/. For me, it also indicates that it's available through the repository.

No, you were absolutely right calling it crates. I will be the first to say, when in Rome be a Roman. I was more ranting at the community for eschewing existing terminology and inventing new one. Sorry, didn't mean to direct it towards you.
