I did not say anything about package managers. I trust my distro and its suppplied packages just like you trust yours and aim to use official packages as much as I can.

The instructions in README.md say "sudo pip install" and "sudo ./setup.py". To me, that is a bad idea. Things that are manually installed should be kept in completely separate directories. My preference is to install such packages in my home directory, which should in no way require sudo.

I agree. Looks like I only noticed the apt-get install line and incorrectly assumed that's what you were referring to.
