That is what I'm doing. But dselect does only support simple substring
searches and when I'm searching for "py" I find packages like "happy"
or "floppybackup" which I'm not interested in.

That's only true if you know the upstream package's name. Quite often
I want to find out if there's already a module that provides some
functionality I need, and then I browse through the descriptions of
the packages beginning with "python-".
