In the longer run pip, or tools like it, will support binary packages using the weel format as described by PEP 427 <http://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0427/>. Support for that format will likely also land in the stdlib for python 3.4. Support for the wheel format isn't ready yet though, and I have no idea how soon it will land in pip. Even when it does it will take some time until there will actually be binary packages using that format on PyPI, and that means there is still room for a mac-specific format at this time.
