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).
FYI, the egg filename will contain a distutils platform identifier (e.g. 'win32', 'macosx', 'linux', etc.) after the 'py2.x' tag if the egg is platform-specific. Otherwise, it's pure Python.
