You need an analogue of Linux distributions (Python distribution? Making choosing a repo a separate and deliberate step?).
That way you could pick a repo based on your risk appetite rather than needing to trust PyPI. Debian style python for the cautious and AUR style python for the bleeding edge and reckless.
