That is a valid criticism of PyPI, and more broadly of the Python
distribution ecosystem. (Uncritical fanatics would deny that, but I'm
not one.)

You're quite right that Python's third-party library distribution
landscape lags behind that for some other platforms. There has been a
great deal of progress in recent years, but contrariwise the progress is
in fixing a legacy backlog of terrible third-party distribution support.

This is true for code targetting Python 2 as much, if not more so, as of
code targetting Python 3. So I'll thank you to direct the frustration
where it belongs: at the state of distribution support, which is not a
special Python 3 problem but is common to all versions of Python.

Thanks for your persistence. It is good to know progress can be made by
focussing on problems where they are.
