On the "easyinstall" naming front, how about "layegg"? I think I once proposed "hatch" but that may not be quite the right word (where's Ken M when you need him? :).

I really don't like all these "cute" names, simply because they are obscure. Names that only make sense once you've gotten the joke may be self-gratifying but not good HCI.

How about:

python -M install

Or maybe we could even lobby to get:

python --install

as a synonym of the above?
