The charme of PIP that I see is, that we could let
install uracoli packages like sniffer, sterm or
wibohost in the same way.

Exactly that is the point. How do I extract tar.gz on Windows XP
without installing just for this purpose a tool or a tool chain
that does this job. Maybe Python can extract tar.gz by a distributed
module.

Is Windows 7 able to handle tar.gz out of the box?

Ok, that is good to know, I'll try that on a fresh Windows.
