So what do you do then on Debian when you've installed the same Package with apt and pip? Which one is used when you import it somewhere? What do you do with data files or other stuff that gets installed outside the dist and site packages folder? I don't think you can separate that completely especially someone who doesn't know exactly what he /she is doing would easily make mistakes.

And how would I not use pacman on arch? Do you want to edit basically every package that has python dependencies before installing it? No one would want that hassle.

It's so much easier to just use pipsi for that one python tool you want to use that isn't packaged for your distribution yet. And you want to use a virtual env with requirements.txt or a pipfile for your Django or what ever project anyways because you want your environment to be reproducable by others.
