Okay, but I think you said at pycon that pip won't work with binary or

True; IIUC the plan is to eventually support some form of binary package
for Windows, but currently binary packages are not supported at all.
This is, quite frankly, ridiculous, and not just because of Windows.
So, say I produce a binary egg for mysqldb, pip's position appears to
be that I'm wrong, and I should have to make sure all the build
dependencies are present on my whole cluster of identical machines.
Same goes for lxml, and anything else with complex build dependencies.
Really, wtf? ;-)
Ian might not be here to say it, but if he were, I imagine he might say,
"patches welcome". ;-)
It's likely easier for me to get buildout to do what I need, which is a
shame, since I *do* like the feel of virtualenv...
Seriously, though, I've posted samples here more than once of the basic
code needed to extract an .egg into a pip-style configuration,
I'm not following you, I don't want to extract any eggs, I just want to
have dependencies satisfied by distributions that may well be binary eggs.
What somebody would still need to write, are the pip-specific bits to
wrap all that in an installation process (including finding the
downloadables in the first place).
I thought pip just used setuptools/easyinstall for that anyway?
