Hello everyone,

This is a nice piece of work. I expect to accept it pretty much verbatim (with some small edits, see https://github.com/python/peps/pull/467). I agree with Nick that we don't have to do anything specifically about control of foostubs packages -- nor do I think we need to worry about foostubs vs. foo-stubs.

Everyone else: if you think this should not go through, now's the time to reply-all here! I am really looking forward to the implementation of this PEP and I am glad that it is close to acceptance. One thing that is not really clear to me is how module-only packages are handled. Say I have a package "foo" that installs the file "foo.py" to site-packages, where would I install "foo.pyi" and py.typed to? Or is this case not supported and I have to convert the foo module into a package containing just init.py?
