Yup, that was the inspiration for this project and its name. See https://github.com/hauntsaninja/pyp#related-projects for more discussion.
By no means is this a new idea, but I think this iteration has some convenient twists :-)
Given that the original project has been unmaintained for several years and is Python 2 only, I think it's not unreasonable. There's very little reason to have both installed, so I don't think it's a problem for users either.
It's also just the perfect name! It's punny, it's short and it acknowledges prior art. And of course, if the original author took issue with it, I would change the name.
