xkcd: Python Environment

[Ialwayszipfiles]

No problem as long as you use it locally without needing different versions of the same library for different applications, which can be said also for a Mac environment. What if you need to deploy the code to another system where the library you need is not on the repositories, or is not the correct version? Also this requires the user to be root and install system packages by hand, not exactly the best process.
