I didn’t say anything about self-unpacking executable. Egg already knows to do what is needed, so i was correct in expecting the wheel to do the same. Plus the notion of packages for transmitting and installing should not exclude the running and importing. Otherwise it is useless, at least for my purposes. As discussed before - jar does that just fine and it is a package format.

Funny thing - wheel allows to do the same! Why would i want to use anything else then???

Thanks,
