** The exception is scripts. Scripts go wherever --install-scripts= point to, and AFAIK there is no means to ensure that the scripts from one egg do not interfere with the scripts for another egg or anything else on the PATH. I'm also not sure what the uninstallation story with scripts is.

Hopefully PEP 338 will go some way towards fixing that - in Python 2.5, the '-m' switch should be able to run modules inside eggs as scripts, reducing the need to install them directly into the filesystem.

Cheers, Nick.
