Use the platform's blessed solution (rpm or dpkg). It's ridiculous for a language to consider a solution worthy of blessing when it doesn't interop with the one my platform was already using or even the ones other languages have.

Most languages are cross-platform. No language maintainer is going to say, "sorry, Windows, Mac, or <random Linux distro> user, you don't get to use our language."
Likewise, you can't require every package maintainer to just publish their package to every single OS and distro's package repository every time they want to release a new version. Well, you can, you just want have any users if you do.
But it makes sense if half the configuration (or what not you expect from a package) is platform specific, like where do the libraries and resources live, does pip know about the windows registry? I doubt it.
