Actually, that would be 'easy_install .' if the current directory has a setup.py in it. In general, if you want to build an egg for a package that doesn't use setuptools, you can use: easy_install -zmxNd target_dir source_dir_or_requirement Where 'target_dir' is the directory the egg will be copied to, and 'source_dir_or_requirement' is either the directory of the setup.py, or a PyPI requirement (e.g. "CherryPy>=2.1"). The '-zmxNd' is -z (keep the output zipped), -m (multi-version, i.e. don't update a .pth file), -x (exclude scripts), -N (no-deps, don't build any dependencies), -d (set installation/target directory). You can actually specify multiple source_dir_or_requirement, which is handy if you want to automate building a bunch of eggs from PyPI or some such.
