I am no expert on distutils, but it seems to me that we are working *around* 
the standard installation method. In the issue I submitted, 
https://github.com/leo-editor/leo-editor/issues/103 
<https://www.google.com/url?q=https%3A%2F%2Fgithub.com%2Fleo-editor%2Fleo-editor%2Fissues%2F103&sa=D&sntz=1&usg=AFQjCNH2WkCVWr_w8F5kCf2S9pGRciBaQg>,
 
I noted that installation via:

  python setup.py install 

failed because the egg was installed as a zip file instead of an unpacked 
directory. Isn't the correct answer to determine what flag needs to be 
changed in setup.py and replace the install script with instructions to 
run: python setup.py install.

Being gratuitously non-standard doesn't make any sense to me. Also, I 
believe that it would then be susceptible to installation via pip and 
easy_install.

I'll see if I can find some time to sort out the zip archive issue.
