There shouldn't be non-egg stuff; if there is, then the package isn't really a good setuptools package. I think setuptools catches attempts to write files elsewhere too, and at least warns about it. While I can understand you want to stick to a stow-based system, at this point stow seems unnecessarily indirect. However, you can always give the -d option or one of the other available options to have easy_install put the egg right where you want it.
I didn't see the -d option. That does most of what I need right there. Spiffy. I agree, that some sort of UI that I could manage eggs and versions with would be excellent and a happy replacement for stow. I would like to be able to keep these eggs out of the "distribution"'s directories, though. Since I don't want things being replaced on upgrade, etc. Ciao! -- Fallacy #1 You can't manage what you can't measure. -- "Facts and Fallacies of Software Engineering" (Robert L.
