I tend to think that PyPI is less important than you might think. Yes, it's convenient. But it's a language-specific installer, easy to install yourself if you really want it, and even if you don't have it, it's perfectly easy to just download the files from PyPI, extract, and do "python{2|3} setup.py build && sudo python{2|3} setup.py install" (note: the target audience of pip is developers, not end-users). Not to mention, important libraries should just be included in the regular repo.
