| It is possible to release a meta-package that has _virtually_ no code and relies | ||
| on a conditional dependency to install its actual core code on the user system. | ||
| For example, Frob-6.0 could be a meta-package which depends on | ||
| Frob-real-py2 on Python < 3.0, and Frob-real-py3 on Python ≥ 3.4. While | ||
| this approach is _doable_ this can make imports confusing. | ||
