I am making some progress, now the patch works with zipped eggs, unzipped eggs and regular .egg-info files. I am wondering about other cases though: - it seems that pkg_resources works on .egg-info *directories*. When does this case happen ? - you said that its needs to work on nested packages, but I can't see the difference when grabbing the metadata in such a package There are also some mechanisms I am not sure at a 100% of, like the right way to loop over sys.path entries, and the way to deal with sys.meta_path, etc..
