Comment(by stromnov@…):

 Yes, this name was selected for similarity/compatibility with other py-
 scikits ports.

 For some historical reasons all scikit(s) ports depends on 'scikits'
 python namespace (even when package was named as 'scikit-*'). Also, some
 of packages named as 'scikit_*', while other as 'scikit-*'.

 Although, currently some of this packages are subjects to rename:

    py-scikits-image - now lives only in 'skimage' namespace, so this port
 actually is no longer 'scikit'

    py-scikits-learn (actually py-scikit-learn) - lives in 'sklearn' and
 'scikits.learn' python namespaces (note 'scikits.learn', but not
 'scikit.learn')

    py-scikits-module - it's a package for handling 'scikits' python
 namespace in MacPorts.

    py-scikits-statsmodels - lives in 'statsmodels' namespace and in
 'scikits.statsmodels' until version 0.5.x

    py-scikits-umfpack and other - see
 http://svn.scipy.org/svn/scikits/trunk/

 For now (until package is not fully switched to 'sklearn' namespace) I
 think it preferably to keep current name, but add some aliases (such as
 'sklearn' and 'scikit-learn') for searching purposes.
