[Distutils] py2exe and eggs

[Jay Parlar]

Sorry to relaunch this topic, but I continue to have general problems
with eggs and py2exe.

Is there any way that easy_install can be used to install an egg, but
"un-egg" it, ie. install it into a directory in site-packages, as
would normally be done if just distutils were being used?

I love that RuleDispatch and PyProtocols are now distributed as eggs,
but if I could somehow install them without them being eggs, that'd be
very useful (to me, and some colleagues).

Or is my only option right now to check them out of SVN, modify
setup.py, and install like that?
