Nah, Eggs is a packaging system, what you don't have to do is compile/configure, because the packaging does that for you. It also handles things like pre-required packages (the packages that this package uses), even though that doesn't always work atm. If you ever used a debian-based linux system, think of Eggs as a Python-specific apt-get. The most advanced kind of language-specific installer atm is the Ruby Gems packaging and distribution system (http://docs.rubygems.org/), go check it for more insight of what Eggs wants to be (and I hope it'll evolve to be as good as gems) (and the install software should be named eggs or hatch, not easy_install, ugly). -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
