 # Python Extensions for Qt Creator
 
 This plugin for Qt Creator makes it possible to extend the Qt Creator by
-writing Python extensions. These extensions are simply Python packages,
-so they are directories containing a `__init__.py` and any other Python
-files necessary. They can be shared as zip archives, installed and managed

+They can be shared as zip archives, installed and managed
 through the included extension manager (which is a Python extension itself) and
 thus allow the Qt Creator to be easily extended with custom functionality.

  2. When Qt Creator is executed, the C++ plugin searches the standard
     Qt Creator plugin directories for a directory named `python`, the
     first directory found is the Python extension directory.
-    Each python package in this directory represents it's own Python extension.
-    Each package is loaded with `import`, which executes the initialization
-    code in its `__init__.py`.

  3. Now all Python extensions have registered their actions / menus / etc.,
     which can be triggered from the Qt Creator interface.
