About --bdist, note that this flag wasn't indispensable since -- install is
getting a distribution egg made as well in the 'dist' directory. All
--install seems to be doing in addition to --bdist is install this egg.

Please note that this distribution egg is a .zip archive that must be
installed via setuptools' easy_install script.

I thought setuptools distinguished between "bdist" and "bdist_egg"?

Yes, as stated in README, if setuptools is present, --bdist translates into bdist_egg.


Both zip files, but bdist_egg is different somehow?  I don't plan to
require setuptools on my target machines; instead, my installer just
unpacks the files in site-packages on the target machine.

From what I can see as a result on my mac, a distutils bdist archive is not so useful. setuptools is your friend. You can force the use of distutils over setuptools by using --use- distutils with jcc.

Andi..
