#4Great idea, but the delivery leaves much to be desired: I am not going to run "pip install" and bypass the software management subsystem of my operating system, thereby compromising the integrity of my system. No OS package, no install.

He already provides packaging for Arch, probably what he uses. It's probably just a question of what resources he has available. Many of us are content to use a tarball or pip.

Debian installs pip in user's local storage. Plus, use virtualenv, it's great!

Genuinely curious - how does installing a Python library through pip 'compromise the integrity of [your] system'?

The distribution packages are often carefully tuned to match compatible versions, with pip, you might add something that the packaging system doesn't account for. I disliked pip ever since but the virtualenv idea sounds good.

pip install --user and you have a local installation leaving everything untouched. As you have a local npm/cabal/gem package store.

Why not just use a virtual env?
