I have a little pet project for building rpm of python 2.7 (it should be
trivial to port to 3.x):
https://build.opensuse.org/project/show/home:cavallo71:opt-python-modules
If there's enough interest I can help to integrate with python.org.

Opensuse provides the vm to build binaries for multiple platforms
already since a very long time.

Rpm are the "blessed" way to instal software on linux: it supports what
most sysadmin expect (easy to list the installed packages, easy to
validate if tampering to a package occurred, which file belongs to a
package? etc..).
Anaconda might appeal some group of user, but for deployment
company-wide rpm is the best technical solution given its integration in
linux.
I hope this helps,
Antonio
