I may be missing something, but it seems the Python tarballs and hashes are on the same host, and this is not an entirely good thing for security.

All the tarballs are signed with the GPG keys of the release managers. The hashes are just a quick verification that your download succeeded. For extra confidence, check the signatures. Our keys should be independently verifiable.
