Python implements the Unicode standard. In the master branch, it's the Unicode
standard version 11.0. It gives these character names:
$ python3
>>> import unicodedata
>>> for ch in list(range(0x06f0, 0x06f9+1)) + [0x06A9]:
... print("U+%04x: %s" % (ch, unicodedata.name(chr(ch))))
...
U+06f0: EXTENDED ARABIC-INDIC DIGIT ZERO
U+06f1: EXTENDED ARABIC-INDIC DIGIT ONE
U+06f2: EXTENDED ARABIC-INDIC DIGIT TWO
U+06f3: EXTENDED ARABIC-INDIC DIGIT THREE
U+06f4: EXTENDED ARABIC-INDIC DIGIT FOUR
U+06f5: EXTENDED ARABIC-INDIC DIGIT FIVE
U+06f6: EXTENDED ARABIC-INDIC DIGIT SIX
U+06f7: EXTENDED ARABIC-INDIC DIGIT SEVEN
U+06f8: EXTENDED ARABIC-INDIC DIGIT EIGHT
U+06f9: EXTENDED ARABIC-INDIC DIGIT NINE
U+06a9: ARABIC LETTER KEHEH
>>> unicodedata.unidata_version
'11.0.0'
I still see "ARABIC" in character names.
> The KAF character (ك)
That's the Unicode character: U+0643 called "ARABIC LETTER KAF".
Comments in
https://github.com/python/cpython/blob/master/Lib/encodings/mac_farsi.py still
seems to be up to date.

mac_farsi.py docstring says:
""" Python Character Mapping Codec mac_farsi generated from
'MAPPINGS/VENDORS/APPLE/FARSI.TXT' with gencodec.py.
The mapping comes from Unicode. Was it updated since this file was created?
The latest change in this file was made in 2007, a few years ago :-)

I don't see anything wrong, I suggest to close the issue.
