I've been experimenting how to install Trac and plugins in wheel format
using pip, and encountering various nuances. It appears that the egg cache
is not needed when installing wheels, which would simplify the
configuration (1).
I've found no issues if a wheel is available on PyPI. However, it gets more
complex when installing from a tarball/zip or installing from a repository.
I haven't found a single pip command that will force install of a wheel
when installing from a tarball/zip or repository. The workaround I
described in (2) is to first create the wheels, then install the wheels.
It gets more complex if the installation requirements are more complex. For
example, I want to install Genshi 0.6 with Trac 1.2 to workaround #11184
(3). There are two complications here:
* There is no wheel for Genshi 0.6 on PyPI
* If steps other than those described below are followed, it's easy to end
up with Genshi 0.7.
* It's easy to end up with Genshi compiled without speedups (I still
haven't solved this for the case of using requirements.txt)

Installing collected packages: Genshi, Trac
Successfully installed Genshi-0.6 Trac-1.2
The key points seem to be:
* Use a requirements.txt if you need to pin installation versions. It's
easy to end up with Genshi 0.7 by running "pip wheel .. genshi==0.6"
followed by "pip wheel ... trac". The latter command will also download
Genshi 0.7 and build a wheel, unless "--no-deps" is used.
* Use "pip wheel" followed by "pip install" to avoid getting eggs when the
wheel isn't available on PyPI, or when installing from a repository.
With these steps I was able to get all the packages installed to
trac-hacks.org in the wheel format, and the somewhat complex
requirements.txt:
pytz
babel
docutils
psycopg2
pygments
httplib2
oauth2
pillow
mollom
spambayes
dnspython

Please let me know if you have any other tips, or advice on accomplishing

I'm thinking it would be good to create a TracInstallVirtualEnv recipe that
describes how to install to a virtual environment using pip and wheels.
