Yeah, but it's the actual contents of setup.py that I want to show
given that this is supposed to be documentation ;-)
setup.py is never part of an .egg file or directory.

um? then what *is* it part of? ;-)

The source distribution (the .tar.gz file made by running 'setup.py sdist').

Eggs are binary distributions (made by running 'setup.py bdist_egg').

As Phillip Eby confirmed several times, .egg files are meant to be an installation format, not a distribution format (cf. [1]). Note that I distinguish .egg files from Eggs-the-concept (development eggs are eggs even though they don't come in .egg files, and I consider source distributions eggs as well if they have a setup.py and use setuptools).
