That's not my concern - I'm not worried about how it looks, but what it does. If it "manages packages", I would expect it to manage them the same way as the native package manager does, but alas, it doesn't (IIUC). So there are now two incompatible ways to install a package: either with the native manager, or with pythonpkgmgr. If you install them one way, and try to remove them the other way, you lose.
