Running a python package registry has some unique challenges, so it makes sense not to start with it (I run such a registry: https://pydist.com).

For example, Python has a distinction between distributions (the actual file downloaded, e.g. a tarfile or a manylinux1 wheel) and versions that doesn't exist in most other languages.

All of these concerns are handled on client side, in the end all python needs is an http server, it can be actually hosted on S3.
