It isn't about philosophy, it is about broadcasting to users what the package is all about. There are lots of packages that use python-rpm-macros but don't use the "python-" prefix because those packages are meant to be used from the command line or as GUI applications rather than being used from the Python interpreter. We have a specific exception for such packages in the python naming rules.
I agree with that, fwiw. In my opinion the python-$pypi_name rule should only be applied to "dependencies", or "modules" that are used. the main application should be called without python- prefix. It seems to me ipython is a similar exception. this is btw similar how other languages are also being packaged (e.g. golang packages use golang-github-foo for their dependencies but $mainpackage as the actual service to use). it would make sense to not invent something weird just because when you're only having a hammer that everything is supposed to look like a nail.
