This isn't true.

If the program has one main function and several helper 
application-specific submodules - none of them can be used by any other 
software as dependency because everything is application-specific.


If the package has the description "Command line utility to xx" - this 
likely means that this is just a command line application and nothing 
more, and it shouldn't have the "py-" prefix.
