In this situation pynamer will give you the following message:

"A Gotcha!, whereby the package is not found even with PyPI's own search"
" facility.\n"
"It can only be found by searching the simple index which is not available "
"through the web interface.\n\n"
"The most likely cause is an abandoned or deleted project by the owner.\n\n"
"Refer to PEP 541 – 'Package Index Name Retention' for details pertaining "
"to name transfer

It may be available. It is worrth trying o register the name. If it fails then try the PEP541 route.
