python-docformatter seems to qualify as "a program that is strongly coupled
to the Python ecosystem".

>From ArchWiki Python package guidelines [a]:

Python 3 library modules, use python-modulename. Also use the prefix if the
package provides a program that is strongly coupled to the Python ecosystem
(e.g. pip or tox). For other applications, use only the program name.
