Again answering to myself with this it appears to work,
but on the pkg_resources doc
for d in find_distributions('egg_directory'):
     working_set.add(d)
     d.activate()

or an alternative is to require specifically what I want.
Now I need to try from another egg using this egg and see how setup.py
tricks work in this sense.
