[Distutils] [buildout] improving zc.recipe.egg's README.txt

[Fadhley Salim]

Surely the easiest way to get that would be direct from SVN? 

The setup.py file would be part of your project. It's used to build the egg but never actually incorporated into the egg - I cannot think what use it would be even if you found a way to break this convention.  

By the way - kudos to you for sorting out the documentation. It's really awesome that somebody is tackling this.

um? then what *is* it part of? ;-)

Regardless of what it is or isn't, it's the contents of the demo egg's setup.py that's currently obfuscated but which would help understanding of the docs a lot.

cheers,
