Sometimes what I like to do when I need to edit an egg file is to install the egg in a development fashion. This is what I do for our Trac installment when I need to make a change: svn co http://svn.edgewall.org/repos/trac/branches/0.12-stable 0.12dev cd 0.12dev sudo python setup.py develop This will create a symbolic link to your svn repo instead of creating an egg (allowing you to make changes on the fly). This _may_ not be the best finalized method, but until you figure out exactly what you need to edit permanently, this is the _best_ method. Once your satisfied with your changes, do a standard sudo python setup.py to create the standard egg. Good Luck!
