you mentioned in July that you search it like this, yes.
We told you to, if you search using apt-cache: search for module name
and egg name only, not the whole package name because some developers do
not follow Debian Python Policy's recommendations and do not use MODULE
name as postfix.
We also mentioned that it's much, much better to search for files using
apt-file - if you do this, you don't have to care about package name.

module name is "websocket" not "websocket-client" - this is egg name.
Package name is perfectly fine (python-websocket-client would be wrong)
