I agree that if every python package provided a MSI/DEB/RPM/MPKG/etc., then there wouldn't be a need to install python packages without a system-level installer.
Even if they did, there would still be a need. System-level packages aren't generally retargetable to different locations, so there's no way to manage development sandboxes with them, or private application environments. Oh, and let's not forget shared hosting. No, system packages aren't even close to being the answer, for package authors *or* users.
