So, why would you like to keep them separate?

At least in the field where I package (astronomy), this does not work:
many of our packages are libraries *and* apps. Often they come as a big
(public) library with a small startup wrapper, and it is a matter of
taste (and of how deep an astronomer digs into Python) whether it is
used from the shell or from a Jupyter notebook.

The rules for both are (should be) the same, right? So, what is the
difference? 

Best regards
