“Libraries” is typically the term we’ve used to describe things you import from other things.  In Python, everything you import is a module, and packages are just special kinds of modules, whereas extensions are module implemented in a compiled language instead of native Python.  It may not be the best nomenclature, but it’s what we’ve been using for a long time.

No, because LibraryStyleGuide *isn’t* policy, it’s an opinionated collection of best practices, and it is better suited for a wiki because those best practices do change over time.

Policy is what you MUST do, and the barrier for changing policy is — and needs to be — higher.
