Note that this doesn't work if it's in a zipped egg. That's one plus to using the pkg_resources API. Installing eggs seems quite easy (easy_install), and it doesn't really get in the way of distributing a tarball and letting people run "setup.py install" just as they always have. They just need to have setuptools installed. Kevin
