Do not try to find consistency in python packaging, there is none. :-) For example, on https://pypi.org/ which is the official index, there are ~5000 packages starting with "python". Some of these are likely named to avoid confusion with the thing they are wrapping, such as "python-vlc" or "python-xz". But lots of them are also plain python-only things so the python prefix is unnecessary. -Dimitry
