Gentlemen,

I'm going to package tool called Sphinx (http://sphinx.pocoo.org/) -
documentation generator for Python projects.

In ITP (#474782) I chose package name to be 'python-sphinx', however
then the package will be thought as containing just python modules.

Is it ok to go ahead and use such generic package name as 'sphinx',
given the recentness of the package and it's (still) small userbase?

The python-wxglade package is an application and not just modules. That
is just one example. Personally, I am ambivalent on the matter.

If it's just a tool, that name is fine. But if it also contains modules, then I
think you should go for python-*. Perhaps you could make two binary packages,
one for the module(s) and one for the tool, although that could be overkilling...

I'm CCing debian-python@ so you can get better answers.

looks more like a module in my eyes, so python-sphinx
