Eggs are phenomenally stupidly implemented. They mess irretrievably with
Python's search path, which makes them completely intolerable for
developers: install one egg, and you can never debug a different version of
the same application, because the original will always be in front of it in
sys.path. Awesome!

I managed to make this idea slink away and die the last time it was raised.
Hopefully it will do the same this time, too.
