I'm pretty sure the goal is that the eggs on SF are good to go. Please 
report it if they don't work for you.

The goal behind the pythonmac packages was that they be as easy as 
possible to install. We started all that before eggs existed (or became 
common, anyway). We may just start putting eggs on pythonmac, though 
since nothing useful happens when you double-click on them, some newbies 
have gotten confused.

That will work, though I don't think you need to uninstall it at all, 
unless you want to save a bit of disk space.

--running off to test this myself....
