When I create an egg the Python version used to create the egg is
encoded in the egg filename, e.g. Whoosh-1.6.0-py2.7.egg.
Is this version number used to decide what egg a user gets from PyPI? I
didn't think it was, but a user is seeming to indicate that he got
different versions based on

You see this a lot on PyPI, where the only thing
