This is a dumb question, but I can't find the answer in the easy_install documentation (I have to say, I always find that page hard to follow...) How do I use easy_install to just locate and download an egg (not install it)? Suppose I have a directory "eggs" and I want to grab a batch of eggs from PyPI or wherever. I can simply go to the appropriate download pages with my web browser, and download the files, but surely I can get easy_install to grab the files for me? Thanks, Paul.
