I was motivated by this thread to look into pip again. I like it, so +1 for 
inclusion. 

We might e.g. drop SQLAlchemy in return,which would Sage smaller instead of 
bigger. It is trivial to install using pip, it seems no code in the library 
depends on it, and the version we are shipping is very old.

Cheers,
Martin
