We've implemented our own bdistegg now which doesn't use setuptools and will start to ship eggs in addition to our prebuilt format with the next releases. Egg-cellent ;-) Any chance this tool is open source? Better yet, could it make its way into distutils asap?

mxSetup.py, the module implementing all our distutils extensions, is available in egenix-mx-base which is open source:

Here's current snapshot:

or as egg

http://downloads.egenix.com/python/egenix_mx_base-3.2.0_20091006-py2.6-linux-x86_64.egg

Note how the package name is mangled... easy_install requires this. The file name also doesn't tell you that the above is for a UCS2 Python build. Again, easy_install fails with that information added to the "py2.6" version marker.

We're still tweaking the implementation a bit, but it's stabilizing rather quickly.
