Pixi wheels on PyPI? #2748

Problem description

I realize that this seems a bit strange to ask for Pixi wheels on PyPI but wait. Note that UV is available on PyPI (https://pypi.org/project/uv).

For computers at work (on WIndows), we cannot install Pixi with the command given in the doc because of a program taking care about security. An administrator told me that something can be done but that it is complicated. So I don't know when and if I will be able to use the standard Pixi installation method. We have exactly the same issue for UV!

However, it is very easy to install UV since we can install python and pipx and UV can be installed simply with pipx install uv.

I guess it should be very simple for Pixi to also upload wheels on PyPI providing the Pixi command.

Writing this, I realize that I could also install Pixi with Miniforge, since I know that I can install conda/mamba. It would just be a bit simpler with pipx because python can be installed with the Microsoft Store. Moreover, one reason to get Pixi is potentially to avoid the Miniforge installation.
