Python louvain packages naming confusion.

Hello,

The fairly popular (in the world of bioinformatics) ScanPy package uses
a Python version of the louvain clustering algorithm implemented by:

https://github.com/vtraag/louvain-igraph
https://pypi.org/project/louvain/

which installs into the "louvain" dist-packages directory.
(from debc)
./usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/louvain/

I have it mostly packaged 

However currently in the Debian archive there's a different louvain
package 

https://github.com/taynaud/python-louvain
https://pypi.org/project/python-louvain/
https://salsa.debian.org/python-team/packages/python-louvain

It installs into (according to debc)
./usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/community/

Unfortunately for this package we now automatically run autodep8 which
fails because the import name is community and not louvain.

autopkgtest [13:29:03]: test autodep8-python3: set -e ; for py in
$(py3versions -r 2>/dev/null) ; do cd "$AUTOPKGTEST_TMP" ; echo
"Testing with $py:" ; $py -c "import louvain; print(louvain)" ; done
autopkgtest [13:29:03]: test autodep8-python3: [-----------------------
Testing with python3.9:
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<string>", line 1, in <module>
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'louvain'
autopkgtest [13:29:03]: test autodep8-python3: -----------------------]
autopkgtest [13:29:03]: test autodep8-python3:  - - - - - - - - - -
results - -


I think having a python3-louvain-igraph package which installs into
louvain, while there is a separate python3-louvain package which
installs into community is really confusing.

I was wondering if the python3-louvain's binary package should be
renamed to python3-community to match the python package name, and then
the other louvain-igraph package could provide a bin package named
python3-louvain which would match the package name.

But this is clearly a thing that needs to be discussed.
