You can look on repology here :
https://repology.org/projects/?search=gbinder
Clicking on the * next to gbinder-python shows that :
https://repology.org/project/gbinder-python/related
Where you can see that this package has different names, and that's fine.
So python3-gbinder or even python3-gbinder-python both looks OK.
gbinder-python doesn't specify which python, and the decision has been to
prefix python packages with python2/3.

I say that because sometime it's not that easy, for exemple for
python3-python-editor, I need that name, because python-editor
and editor are two different projects, so we could have a
python3-editor and a python3-python-editor.

And, well, repology is not a reference, but it's useful, or at least
practical, to be properly referenced there.

 - Yth.
