Shh, this is how we trick people into becoming proxy maintainers and eventually Gentoo developers. Seriously though, every python package suggests using pip because the authors are on Windows/Mac and don't know that there's a better way to live. Figuring out how to write ebuilds can be fun, and in this case (I wouldn't have suggested it otherwise), it should be relatively easy too.
