When I create an egg the Python version used to create the egg is encoded in 
the egg filename, e.g. Whoosh-1.6.0-py2.7.egg.

Is this version number used to decide what egg a user gets from PyPI? I didn't 
think it was, but a user is seeming to indicate that he got different versions 
based on what version of Python he was using.

Is there a way to set this value to "py2.5" as a configuration option, other 
than running setup.py using the Python 2.5 executable? Or not have it be part 
of the egg filename at all? I'm using Python 2.7 as my default Python install 
but I make sure that the code in my library is compatible with 2.5+. I've 
already someone think the library is only for a later version of Python because 
that's what I used to build the egg.

Sorry if this is an old question, I looked around but didn't find any docs on 
the subject.

Thanks,

Matt
