"Isn't practical" is a perfect reason to improve it with a new python
package naming proposal.
Check out the other replies. It would be much more of a reason to be as
close as possible to upstream names, so documentation on the web would
work, too, and users would get some result without guessing package names.
Although I think running package searches is superior.

Yet "yum install PyGTK" would not work. Introducing lots of prefixes or
interpreter version identifiers is unlikely to end up with a clean/clear
solution.
