If you just want the file accessible by a script or some larger build
process that's invoking the setup script, the easiest way to do it is to
specify an empty output directory for the distribution to be built in,
instead of 'dist/'.  Then, there will only be one file in that directory
after running bdist_egg: the egg file.

(If you meant some other scenario, then you'll need to explain in more
detail what you want.)
