It is trivial to generate a .deb from nearly any pip module... sudo apt-get install devscripts python-all-dev python-stdeb; cd path~to~pip; python setup.py --c

It's trivial to do a lot of niche catering and die by a thousand cuts. It's also trivial to install pip.

  I'd hardly call debian and its derivatives 'niche', but whatever floats your boat...

    It's not niche in terms of OS deployment, perhaps, but a user's request for a `deb` file over traditional python packaging certainly is.

      Perhaps, but this is to answer the call of 'os-native' packaging. I'd figure between msi+pkg+rpm+deb you'd have most of the bases covered.

        Death by a thousand cuts! Pip is enough for anyone with google.

        This sounds crazy but we are actually in a situation where it is preferable to deploy python libraries via APT
