How to avoid updating a package from PyPI?

By accident I created a local python package with the same name as an existing PYPI package (pyea).Now I realised that by updating all installed packages my package will be overwritten by a newer version from PYPI-Server. Can I give my local package a flag or so, to prevent from updating using PYPI-Server? Or there are maybe some parameters for the setup.py file to control this issue.

Renaming the package would require a lot of effort.

It is best practice to avoid using names of packages that already exist. While renaming might be a lot of effort, it's your best option to avoid any future hassle.

It'll be a short term pain for a long term gain.
