It's true that Python package installation is harder than it could be.
There's a lot of progress being made on this front at the moment
though. There are some deep problems in the way that Python has been
doing it so far. The people who are working on this right now are
spending most of their time laying the basic foundations for a better
packaging system and so their work is yet to really manifest itself in
visible improvements. The situation should be noticeably better by the
time Python 3.4 gets released though.
