The upstream source package name is graphviz and is hosted on pypi at 
https://pypi.python.org/pypi/graphviz

Obviously that conflicts with the original C language package grapvhiz,
so I thought python-graphviz was the best alternative. I'm open to
other suggestions. pypi-graphviz? 

The binary package name would be python3-graphviz.

And yes there is a pygraphviz, but that's a different package with a
different API.

But yes it is a bit silly there's so many different python graphviz
apis.

I'm guessing the reason the dask developers used the pypi graphviz is
its pure python, unlike pygraphviz which is a C extension. But I'm not
sure, I just tried to use the task visulaization and got an import
error.

dask uses the python graphviz library to generate plots like in this
notebook.
