Why I don't use easy_install

The article critiques Python's easy_install package manager for lacking an uninstall command, the inability to batch update packages, and the redundancy of having multiple package managers. The author, an Ubuntu user, prefers apt-get and suggests a system where PyPi packages are mirrored as native system packages (like .deb files) to integrate with existing package managers while preserving access to the Python ecosystem.
