If setuptools works on jython, what does it use for the "pyX.Y" part
of the egg names?
And in the future hopefully IronPython, PyPy, and ShedSkin will join
the setuptools party.
Does this revive our interest in supporting "100% Pure Python" eggs
that do not have an X.Y Python version number in their names? (Since
Python code without native extension modules is a lot more likely to
work on various versions of various implementations of Python than
Python code with native extension modules.)
Or will jython, IronPython, PyPy, and ShedSkin specify some X.Y
version of CPython that they support?
