How to install the third party module is up to you, and you can choice
if you want to run the setup.py or not run it but just extract it to a
local directory. Many third party modules do the same thing just like
meide does, and I just abide the same rule. meide is not the first
one, and will be not the last one. And setup.py is just a handy way to
enable third party modules can easy to use. I don't think it's a bad
thing. I think your opinion is very different from mine. And I'll not
giveup the packaging method I'v made. So if you don't want to run the
setup.py and even don't want to extract the zip file to a local
folder, so just delete it.

Thanks your advice.
