Packages & Libraries annotations #201

All packages are libraries. Basically, a package is a library that has an entry_point.
But libraries are not packages.

So, I think we should re-annotate our csv, for the entries that we have package and library as just package. These would affect the entries for: pyLODE, rdflib, fastseq, astropy, obspy, Ppool, mowgli-in-the-jungle, PaddleClas.

Alternative, we could modify the code_inspector, for classifying package as package and library.

This is a fair point. I think we were separating intended usages: a package is meant to be used through the command line; while a library is not. I agree that since all packages can be imported, they become libraries too. We should unify this in the evaluation.
