Everything is installed in:
/usr/lib/python2.3/site-packages/setuptools-0.6a5-py2.3.egg/

This is it, there's the path to site-packages, not directly to the egg.

$ /usr/bin/python -c "import sys; print sys.path"
['', '/home/pau/include', '/var/www/html/include_parametres', 
'/var/www/html/include', '/usr/lib/python23.zip', '/usr/lib/python2.3', 
'/usr/lib/python2.3/plat-linux2', '/usr/lib/python2.3/lib-tk', 
'/usr/lib/python2.3/lib-dynload', '/usr/lib/python2.3/site-packages', 
'/usr/lib/python2.3/site-packages/Numeric', 
'/usr/lib/python2.3/site-packages/PIL', 
'/usr/lib/python2.3/site-packages/gtk-2.0']

What am I doing wrong?
