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?

Good call. I think that conversion to a package is indeed the best approach -- it doesn't seem worth it to add more special-casing for this scenario. Ethan, if you agree, you should just add a sentence about this to the PEP. This seems like the best solution, especially since setuptools does not really support installing package data for pure modules.
