Python registry PyPI allows package authors publish and distribute their packages or programs with pip.
pip / PyPI is the official package manager for Python projects.
So any person who has Python (2 or 3) and pip installed, can do pip install autojump to install Autojump to their operating system.
Users can also update their autojump version with pip install --upgrade autojump
Because Python installers for Windows or installer for any OS distribution comes with pip already, users don't have to git clone the repository to update autojump manually.

Thanks for the suggestion, I would love to package autojump as a pure Python package and host it on PyPI.
The problem I have is autojump needs to add / modify shell files, which is a bit difficult to implement or test in a pure Python implementation.
