@Opabinia regalis: Thanks for taking the time to look at this. I've added another source that links "cheese shop (PyPI)" with the Monty Python cheese shop.
Actually, I've had six DYKs in the past! I somehow remember that back in the day, you were required to review another DYK only if you had made a certain number of DYK nominations in some duration. It appears that I either remembered wrong or the rules have changed. But I've just reviewed Template:Did you know nominations/Thomas L. Martin for this.
My justification for the public domain note is that I took this excerpt straight from the PEP without modification: included mechanisms for the capture of package metadata, but did little with the metadata save ship it with the package. Though the sentence is quite literally copy-and-pasted, I don't think it should count as plagiarism with the citation and PD notice template.
Thanks for double-checking ref 13. But I'm not sure what you mean about the Hussain source being "esoteric", could you explain?
And yes, I agree that it's frustrating how sourcing for software works. Part of my reason to use hard sources is to establish notability, that PyPI isn't a minor thing that shouldn't be merged to the Python article itself. Another part of it is that sometimes there's simply no "regular" sources that outright document it. Some things, such as Egg files being zip files in disguise, are easily verifiable by using file (command) or straight up trying to unzip it as you would a zip file. Hence when "regular" sources don't say it, I end up citing mailing lists, source code, the ?:action=browse on the PyPI url itself, and could possibly even cite (to an extent) where http://cheeseshop.python.org takes you...
Thanks for the proposed rewording, I've incorporated it into the article.
As for the Hussain ref, this is an example of what I'm talking about when I say that sometimes there's simply no "regular" sources that outright document it. It's easy to put a link to the project and nothing more on PyPI - just fill out nothing but the "Project URL" field when you're creating the PyPI project entry - but I found nothing, not even official documentation, that said that. What do you think should be done? →Σσς. (Sigma) 07:01, 12 August 2016 (UTC)
