"install name == import name" cannot work in Python, because when you `pip install foo`, you may get more than one top-level package. Or you may get a single-file module. Or you may, validly per the spec, get no Python code whatsoever. (For example, you could publish large datasets separately from your data science library, as separate wheels which could be listed as optional dependencies.)

The lack of good namespacing practice is a problem. Part of the reason for it, in my estimation, is that developers have cargo-culted around a mistaken understanding of `__init__.py`.
