A very quick and dirty check: dmg: 5 rpm: 12 msi: 23 dumb: 132 wininst: 364 egg: 2570 That's number of packages with binary distributions in that format. It's hard to be sure about egg distributions, as many of these could be pure-python (there's no way I know, from the PyPI metadata, to check this).
Thanks. If you have access to the egg file name, you should be able to tell. AFAIK, eggs with extension modules include the Distutils platform name in the file name preceded by a '-', so '-linux', '-win32', '-macosx' for the main ones. Pure python eggs do not contain a platform name. http://pypi.python.org/pypi/pyinterval/ is a random example of the former.
