Yeah, right. That would be more like Python packages, I think.

The idea about Python packages is that they are multiple modules bundled 
into a single new module, I think. So 'org' isn't really a good Python 
package-- it's not anything in itself. 'storm', on the other hand, is 
actually a package in its own right... (hum, anybody following?)

Here's an article about Python packaging:

    http://www.python.org/doc/essays/packages.html

Quote from the top of one specific section:

    Warning: the following may be confusing for those who are familiar
    with Java's package notation, which is similar to Python's, but
    different.
