Ok, so this section in the wiki:
All Python module packages, whether pure Python or C-based, should be
called python-modulename. modulename should be the name of this module on the Python Package Index, the official third-party software repository for the Python programming language. could be replace with, for example:
All Python module packages, whether pure Python or C-based, should be
called python-modulename. modulename must be the name of the package in the package's setup.py, which is equal to the filename of the source tarball. If this differs from the name on the Python Package Index, the official third-party software repository for the Python programming language, the packgage should provide this name too.
And does the Packaging guidelines change process apply here? https://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Packaging_guidelines_change_process IMO it does.

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 .
That makes sense and disambiguates the package name. How about this for a policy: Package should be named as python-<setup.py `name` field>. If this is different from PyPI name (e.g. gogs_client as setup.py name, gogs-client as pypi name), then python-<PyPI name> should also be provided.
Sounds good to me.
