Wonder if that is related to the malware spamming of NPM that I saw something about last night.
Python used to have a "batteries included" philosophy which tried to put most important stuff into the distro, reducing the number of external dependencies any given app needed. They seem to have abandoned that now, leaving us to fend for ourselves against the malware.
