Is this really less transparent than running a rpm or installer .app? On the other hand, looking at the source (which hilariously checks and warns if curl doesn't exist) you could just download https://pagekite.net/pk/pagekite.py https://pagekite.net/pk/pagekite.py put it on your $PATH manually. The thing that makes me feel odder is that pagekite.py is just a bunch of base64 compressed python scripts - if you are going to put your .py script on a user's machine, are there really that many savings in compressing all the python code?
