Why should, say, pip packages have any problems with each other as long as they aren't imported directly in a python sourcefile.

Are you suggesting that package versions should be explicitly provided as part of import statements? Or that import statements should be mangled depending on the versions specified in setup.py?

Yep, see also my suggestion in the other subthread.
