You can unzipp eggs as well, creating a directory that ends in .egg - that works the same. > I've also tried to simply modify the original source file, without > rebuilding the egg, which obviously doesn't affect the egg file.

You find it documented here: http://peak.telecommunity.com/DevCenter/setuptools It comes with a few commandline-scripts after installation, such as easy_install > when i run "python setup.py develop" and I then run my app, it crashes, > complaining of a persisten object not being found....
