The problem is that pip, distribute and maybe other packages by default use a package index listing nonfree software. Being able to use these tools in a free distro to install free software is needed for Python programmers or users of packages not packaged in the distro. Python Web applications and framework probably often recommend installing them via pip or similar tools, not by using distro packages.
