SageMath as a regular python package

If one were to endeavor converting SageMath into a regular python package, which parts would be easy to convert and which would be difficult?
Why didn't sage start out as a regular python package in the first place?

I imagine such a conversion project ending up with a package that can be installed with pip or conda. After the package is installed any python script can import sage and can be run with the system's plain old python binary.

While it is cool that sage is packed as a conda package (I was not aware of that - thanks) it's still not a regular python package in the sense that you can't import it from a regular python script that is being run by a regular python binary.
I was wondering why that is and if converting sage to such a package would be difficult.

I edited my answer, adding the "pip" section to point to the relevant ticket on Sage's Trac server.

I guess I was looking for the pip-installable package ticket. Thanks!
