I read this new article that explains Typosquatting well: http://incolumitas.com/2016/06/08/typosquatting-package-managers/ making it known here so python developers can address this issue accordingly!

Hum, I guess that you are talking about https://pypi.python.org/pypi ? If yes, you should open an issue in their bug tracker:
https://bitbucket.org/pypa/pypi/issues

By the way, I don't see any obvious fix for typo squatting.
