Yeah, I think their approach to blaming PyPi for not being able to distribute their 1GB standard install is really putting the blame on the wrong people.

As an example of an approach that doesn't break Pypi, nltk distributes through Pypi but has an download() method for installation.

The fact they're hostile towards pip (and ergo pipenv and poetry) just make it less than appealing software to want to use.
