There is no PyPi, it's PyPI (py pee eye), the Python package index.

If you have to insist that a name needs a certain capitalization to properly exist, you're in the territory of brand zealotry and pedantry. The people who don't care for one reason or other vastly outnumber you, and they will invent your disfavored capitalization into existence. The same goes for pronunciation. GIF? Jira?

If your thing can be reached under "pypi.org", you can either accept that people will come up with their own ideas of how to capitalize or pronounce the name, or you can fight against windmills and tell people what ought to exist or not.
