A couple of Pycons ago I think I suggested 'hatch' which IIRC you didn't like because you wanted to reserve that for some other function, but I've forgotten what that was. OTOH, a quick search didn't reveal any collisions with hatch(1) on *nix.
+1 on a rename. Both 'hatch' and 'egg' are excellent. I'm not fond of the name 'easy_install', because: - it is very generic - the bias in the name (easy) will backfire whenever it fails for any reason. Like: 'Hey, this *bleep* thing thinks its easy to use, but it doesn't *bleep* work'. - Lars
