If you don't want easy_install to find it, don't list it on the pages 
referred to in your "Home Page" or "Download URL" on 
PyPI.  Easy_install reads those pages because many package authors do 
not provide directly usable URLs or packages on PyPI.

You can prevent this as a package author, by specifying 
zip_safe=False in your setup() script.
