As far as I understood best practices of Python team you should also use
the prefix for source packages.  Could you please clarify this on Debian
Python list since it would be better to clarify this before the first
upload?  So please ask debian-python at lists.debian.org for a short review
of your packaging in Git.

A similar naming inconsistency is in pycoast - please also ask Python
team to get a sensible default naming.

Kind regards

    Andreas.
