The problem is that this may not exist.  Debian developers, when faced
with a python package, may decide to break it up into several pieces,
and make several debian packagages.  If you want the same functionality
you have to load all of the debian packages, which of course involves
finding out what they are.

apt-cache search <PyPi name> works reasonably well, as long as you are
willing to put up with some false hits.  And it assumes you have a debian
system handy, of course.
