Unzip all eggs.  You can add the following stanza to your distutils  
config file [1]:

[easy_install]
zip_ok=False

By the way, here is where I keep notes about problems that people  
have encountered which they would not have encountered if setuptools  
unzipped all eggs by default:

(I ought to migrate those notes to the new official setuptools issue  
tracker.)
