'how to specify the name of a package?

I have built and installed via pip a python package, let's say tetris. Now, on a another branch I have written code that adds some new functionality to the master branch, lets call that branch tetris_3D. I want to build and install on my local pc a package from the tetris_3D branch and give it a name tetris_3D. I would like both packages tetris and tetris_3D to co-exist on my machine.

How can I do that?

I thought that changing the name in the setup.py file would work. However something like:

setup(
    name="tetris_3D",
    license="BSD",
    ...
    ...

doesnt seem to help. The whl is getting created, the package is installed but I cannot import it. My Anaconda3\Lib\site-packages folder has both tetris_3D.dist.info and tetris folders but it looks to me that the 3D code has overwritten everything inside tetris instead of creating a new fresh one. When I do import tetris then it is the 3D code that gets imported.
