Yeah, something like that could work. I don't know how useful it would
be, though.
Obviously, only root could use it (or root inside a container).
And our selection of Python modules is far from complete. It's not
Debian's intent to provide a mirror of PyPI within Debian. Generally
speaking, we package the modules that we find useful for supporting
building and shipping other python modules and applications.
We'll only have a single version of each package. And they're usually
not the versions developers want, because in any stable release they're
probably out of date.
