What is wrong in having a ".msi" or ".exe" or a ".xxx' or tool
which is an autoinstalling tool you can distribute on a usb
stick or the like witout having an internet connection?

Why should I have to install a software to be able to install
a software? Same kind of a recursive absurdity.

How many new installers are provided? Should I expect a new
one in six months?

What about a new installer, which requires a previous intaller
to be installed?

And so on.

I miserably failed to install pip. The only thing I succeed
to find (google) is gazillion of people facing the same problem,
assuming an installer is not buggy.

Yes I know, R(ead)TFM, read the contradicting instructions you
may find on the web, install this, install that, configure this,
configure that, just open a console and ...
Yes, always *just* ...

Sometimes I have the feeling, all this free software (there
are exceptions) is here, for people who have time to waste 
and not for people who will work.

Slightly different.

I'm not (never really been) a linux guy. As far as I know the
repositories are different for every variants of a distro
(eg Ubuntu x, y, z).
In Python, there is a single repo supposed to satisfy
all quasi incompatible Python versions! They are!
