OK, thanks.

Why is that a "nightmare" ? Since when a list of directories is a
"nightmare" ?

Just like many other non-Python packages, so this point is not at all
Python specific.

Because:
- No reproducibility (pypi downloads the latest available versions of
the modules, as far as I know)
- No integration with our download logic: use of a primary mirror, use
of a backup mirror, local cache of downloads.
- No integration with our legal information tooling.
