I would recommend prefixing with 'python-' and giving it sensible names.

I would recommend lowercasing everything.


If you look at what other distributions/packagers are converging too 
regarding python module packages, both recommendations fit into that.

	adns-python	-> python-adns
	pybsddb		-> python-bsddb3
	pychm		-> python-chm
	pycrypto	-> python-crypto
	pygame		-> python-game
	Imaging		-> python-imaging
	Numeric		-> python-numeric
	egenix-mx-base	-> python-mx-base
	pysqlite	-> python-sqlite

Of course python applications keep their original name. (This also allows 
to differentiate between python applications and python modules)
