You're right, I don't really need the egg format for what I'm doing. However, setuptools + setup.py is a familiar idiom like make + Makefile or ant + build.xml. So add a bdist_zip target and have it output a .zip without egg-info cruft instead of making people like me reinvent the wheel every !@#$ing time. Even if the wheel is as simple as piping glob.glob into a zipfile -- which it never is IRL. -- Dimitri Maziuk Programmer/sysadmin BioMagResBank, UW-Madison -- http://www.bmrb.wisc.edu
