[Distutils] moving a development egg over to a production server not using buildout...

[michael nt milne]

Hi

Is there some special command that is required for packing up an egg
which has been in development and is sitting in a buildout /src
directory, over to a live server. This server isn't using a buildout
config so it will go straight into site-packages. Does the egg need to
be zipped up before it can be easy_installed?

I've had a look at this page

http://peak.telecommunity.com/DevCenter/EasyInstall#command-line-options

What I am getting is a single .egg file and no folder structure for
the egg within site-packages.

Thanks
