That doesn't require Eggs to be single-file zipfiles; deleting a directory would work just as will (and I believe it will work with ezinstall, too). Egg directories (which are basically just the same as packages using .pth files) also work for this and that's what I usually install. Setuptools can work with python extension inside .zip files, but I'm not entirely comfortable with that.

It's primarily the .egg files that I dislike. I'm can accept the .egg directories.
