My wishlist:

We need a way to configure an ordered list of indexes pip searches for packages. —extra-index-url or using a proxy index is not the solution.

Also namespaces and not based on a domain. So for example: pip install apache:parquet

Also some logic either in the pip client or index server to minimize typosquatting

Also pip should adopt a lock file similar to npm/yarn. Instead of requirements.txt

And also “pip list” should output a dependency tree like “npm list”

I should not have to compile source when I install. Every package should have wheels available for the most common arch+OS combos.

Also we need a way to download only what you need. Why does installing scipy or numpy install more dependencies than the conda version? For example pywin and scipy.
