You misread my first message, I only suggested that PyPI would sign the public keys.
oh right, sorry

PyPI already signs each release for the mirrors (see PEP 381) - so it sounds feasible

        If pypi would also sign the public key, and possibly the

        why pip ?


    It's the premier Python package manager.

    PyPI would sign the publisher's keys so that you could trust them
    without having to worry about the connection. You could mirror
    the expected keys this way.

    Key revocation is an unrelated issue. A revoked key is still
    revoked even if you can download a version of it that is not
    marked as revoked.

    But you don't upload packages on Pypi using Pip - since it's just
    the installer - So I don't get the workflow
