I guess just to prove Mark's not the only one (and perhaps because I'm feeling contrary), I should probably say that I don't expect that pip will necessarily download things from pypi either.  I'm used to packaging tools using CDNs, mirrors, and lists of sources to give me what I ask for in the way they think best at the time.  That's part of their value, really.
