So, I have been handed the other part of the project which now contains everything except the manage.py file(which i have created). Also, the project is quiet old and some of the dependencies are either no longer being managed or don't exist anymore.(unobase for an example). As such, i was handed an eggs.zip containing the packages used by the developer. Now, the question is, how do i install the dependencies from the eggs.py file? I think its more of a python question than a django issue but i would still appreciate whatever help i can get.
