First there are the generic naming guidelines which say that the dash '-' must not be used "as the delimiter for name parts".[2]
ISTM you misread the part of the wiki, it says quite the opposite: you should use "-" (dash), you should NOT use other separators (such as "_", "+" and ".")
Then there is the more specific naming policy for python packages which says the package must be called "python-$pypiname". It does not mention any exceptions (at least I haven't found any). In the above example the pypi's name is "gogs-client" and results in
The issue with your request is the discrepancy in the package's PyPI identifier. Upstream seems to think the name should be "gogs_client", but uploaded as "gogs-client", except the filename is still "gogs_client".
Upstream sometimes does that, and PyPI does nothing to stop them. Such is the world we live in.
As I wrote on the request, "_" and "-" are treated the same by PyPI ecosystem. "pip install gogs-client" and "pip install gogs_client" are identical. So IMHO using "python-gogs-client" as the package name is equally correct as "python-gogs_client".
There is a difference if we translate pip requirements (eg via metaextract[1]) to rpm requires (assuming that other pip packages use the correct name). The name we should use is then one that is written in the setup.py/setup.cfg file. Which is "gogs_client". So the correct name is imo python-gogs_client .
