Given that the out-of-the-box Python install already has facilities for

Python install is just "security theatre;" such a machine shouldn't
have Python installed at all (nor a C compiler, etc.)
Indeed, in the real world this locking down is done at the firewall level.
As for packaging in this scenario, that's what private package servers
are for...
