I guess we're on the same page then and I wouldn't have written the reply had you been more specific. Having said that, I do find the situation with Python/PIP/PyPI today is far better than a few years ago, especially concerning binary packages and the Python2/Python3 divide. I'm not experiencing a substantial quality difference between pip and npm, at the same time I prefer venv over node_modules (while detesting both).
