Where is the problem, I did that before and it works just fine. 

Of course sage isn't on pypi so you can't auto-download it as a dependency, 
but then its doubtful that this would work anyways. There are way too may 
specialized shared-library dependencies, and if there is one thing that 
really sucks then that's (pip,npm,rvm,...)-packages that start compiling 
gobs of third-party C/C++ code when installing. Neither is pip/wheel/... 
made for distributing binaries of third-party code. So realistically there 
should always be a "sage runtime" to compile the dependencies before 
installing Sage-the-python-library. But you can just use pip to install 
packages depending on Sage on top of that, no problem.
