Precisely. For this reason, python2x.zip is on sys.path,
allowing you to include the entire library (subset) in
a single file.

It may also be of convenience to users and local admins
which have to install the same package across different
machines, when the system vendor does not provide a package,
but it appears that eggs are currently unfriendly to
system vendors which want to include eggified packages
in their own packaging system.
