however, i have another problem:
for example if i install a egg of a given package and then I install a newer
version using a .exe then i will have in site-packages:
example-0.1-py2.5.egg\
example-0.2-py2.5.egg-info\
and somehow example-0.1-py2.5.egg will take precedence and import example
will give me the old package
