Heh. If harsh, uninformed responses make you wonder whether it's worth
doing free software, then you're in the wrong social philanthropy
movement.
Make the software good quality, release it in the standard format (in
this case, a Distutils ‘sdist’ on PyPI), respond in a timely manner to
genuine requests for help. Eggs are certainly not a requirement, nor
is
responding to hostility like the above comment.
If you *want* to respond, you can politely direct them to
<URL:http://docs.python.org/install/> where they can learn how to
install Python distributions — no mention of eggs at all.
Package owners are not allowed to comment on their own PyPI packages,
so responding to comments requires tracking down the person who left
them and contacting them in some other way.
