Therefore I still propose shipping bootstrap package that instruct user how to download and install an actual package  management tool when users tries to use it. So far I know only one stable tool - easyinstall - a part of setuptools package.

We can't ship A bootstrap script until there is A package management tool in the Python world. Currently there are three. :)

In short: The tools that exist are not ready yet.
