Sure, I think pypi publishing is orthogonal to this however.  Either or
both versions of the bindings could be published on pypi in addition to
being in the main repo.  As Brian mentions it would improve
discoverability and improves integration on the python side.  There's
even tooling to bundle the library these days with the manylinux1
wheels.  So there's no need to stop anyone who'd like to do this.
