So now we're back to the point Daniel (I believe) made of "hey, if you restrict yourself to a single file script or a zip archive with a __main__.py, you don't need to install it before running it"? Well yes, that's how Python works. So what you're really arguing for is for pip to become a single file executable like distil, and deal with the consequences of cert file unpacking, etc. Somehow, I don't see that getting anywhere near the top of anyone's priority list any time soon.
