[Tutor] using easy_install to download eggs

Hi,
thanks for the hint.

I tried this.

It saves the downloaded packages in a form of:
http%3A%2F%2Fpypi.python.org%2Fpackages%2Fsource%2FB%2FBareNecessities%
2FBareNecessities-0.2.2.tar.gz.content-type
http%3A%2F%2Fpypi.python.org%2Fpackages%2Fsource%2FB%2FBareNecessities%
2FBareNecessities-0.2.2.tar.gz

I was looking for *.egs or *.exe pachages.

Any ideas?

Regards,
Timmie
