OK, so in the Perl community there is apparently a lot of confusion on what CPAN is. And in the Python community there is a lot of confusion about installation. And although CPAN does't install and has nothing to do with installation, people in the Perl community think it does. So according to you, when Perl people say "Python need CPAN" what they actually mean, according to you, is "We can't convert one package format to another", because they don't know that CPAN is the archive, not the installation program.
