This is narrow-minded. I understand your POV, I really do (I use a
debian-based system myself, and hate the way software installation works
on any other system), but what you are saying cannot work in a general
manner.
IMHO we could have a command-line search feature à la CPAN at PyPI like what apt provides.
$ pypi-search "foo"
