At the very least, use is_likely_prime() as function name.
I agree with you here: the function name should reflect what it actually does. (Note that the technical term is "probable prime", so it should be is_probable_prime)
But I don't think that the Python stdlib should have a proven is_prime() function because that would be complicated, slow and have very limited benefit over is_probable_prime().
