Yeah, there is some confusion there. As I understand it, 'Egg' isn't even a distribution format, and egg is a package that has extra information. There is also a distribution format, .egg, but a tarball that includes a .egg-info directory is an egg. A tarball that doesn't, but has a setup.py, is not an egg, but may be used to make it one. Or? That is terminology that may need discussing. -- Lennart Regebro: Python, Zope, Plone, Grok http://regebro.wordpress.com/ +33 661 58 14 64 _______________________________________________ Distutils-SIG maillist - [email protected] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/distutils-sig
