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". m.
