Usually, eggs are created using setuptools [1]. The documentation there is comparably good. So I'm wondering where your troubles come from. Your usecase should be solved by a simple <durus-dir># python setup.py develop Then in the site-packages there will be created an egg-link that points to your durus-dir. You can then modify the source. Diez -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
