Thanks, thats what I needed. I've been working on "yolk"[1] again and
fixed it so it lists all versions of an egg, not just the latest.
(moved from the Peak mailing list)

If anyone is interested, I started a utility to list all eggs, only
activated eggs, or only non-activated eggs with some of the
metadata (version, desc, license etc.)

I just added a -d option so you can list dependencies of an egg.
I'm working on making it show what version of each dependency
is actually installed.
