I believe english grammar mandates the following:
    [...] a tutorial and a reference.

So, you're missing an 'a' between the 'and' and the 'reference'.

Also, what about the mandatory status of this? For other package
onfrastructures, we say:
    This infrastructure must be used for new packages that rely on [XXX]
    as their build system.

Why don't we add this for Python modules?

Ditto 'a' and ditto 'mandatory'.
