There is no such thing as a "source egg".  If you want to fetch an editable 
source distribution, simply use:

    easy_install -eb. ctypes

And you'll get a ctypes directory in the current directory with the source.

If you want to build an egg for your current platform and deposit it in the 
current directory, without installing scripts or dependencies, use:

    easy_install -zmxNd. ctypes
