It's a systemic problem. It's not just eggs or pypis, it's jars, debs, 
cpans, dmgs, and the list goes on and on. You can't reasonably expect 
people who write the code to also learn suse and redhat and maverick and 
everyone else's paths and policies and provide packages for all of them.

When the whole world is snakes, everything will be packaged in a peepee. 
Until then the usual procedure is to "make install" into 
"/tmp/package-root" and then build your .deb, .egg, or .pax in there.
