Why do you think Python is more susceptible than other platforms?
It is true that PyPi was designed before the author/project naming scheme popularized by github. Other than that I don't see a greater problem with name collisions in Python.
Susceptible - yes, all platforms could fall to this.
That's why a strong leadership in a community, or subcommunities, works well. Python lacked this leadership, that leads to millions of half-arsed projects that compete... without moving the whole platform forward. It feels like NIH syndrome has permeated Python. Hopefully that's going to change
I forgive myself, it's pretty confusing :D.
