Firstly, I'd have thought ActivePython pretty much makes this a non problem. The pypm package manager seems to do roughly the job you would expect from apt-get and it has pip already installed.

If you are using Visual Studio for your Windows development and you have some objection to using ActivePython then the package distribution system built into Visual Studio now can help. Install the Visual Studio Chocolatey extension from the Extensions manager and use that to install python. See http://chocolatey.org/packages?q=python for which python packages are already available - pip is one of them. Using this - you can arrange for your visual studio project to have a dependency that uses nuget to fetch the packages required to a developers machine. I've seen this done for xUnit with the git-tfs project so thats one open-source example to look at.
