Yes you're right, Trac requires .egg files for local plugins installs (... in /plugins folder ;) so that not all environments but only one be able to use the plugin ... but that's not exactly what I'm saying, since setuptools AFAIK *MUST* be already there ... so Trac depends on setuptools.
I've not looked at Trac's plugin architecture, but I wonder, how much of it is generic enough to be useful for any application? I've found setuptools entry points difficult to work with for plugins, and I think the Python ecosystem could benefit from more shared wisdom, if not code, in designing plugin frameworks for applications.
