there are however some issues...
I have packaged pyncurses (http://pyncurses.sourceforge.net), which is
a new, object oriented interface for ncurses.
I cannot rename it to python-ncurses, since that is an upstream
name of another program (and python-curses is yet another).
python-pyncurses is a pleonasm, and looks like python interface for
pyncurses.
So far I have settled on plain pyncurses, moreover if all the libraries for
python have to begin with python- (and similarily for perl etc.), it looks
like hungarian notation, which few people like.
