IMO `pip` is for developers. To package and distribute end-user
applications there are rpm, dpkg/deb, PyInstaller, cx_Freeze, py2exe
(+ installer like NSIS or InnoSetup), py2app, etc...
Most of them pack a copy of Python interpreter and necessary parts
of stdlib, so there is no problem with `sys.path` and wrong imports.

Programmers don't die, they just GOSUB without RETURN.
