Well, we're NOT going to have scripts under *nix with .py extensions. Nobody
in a *nix box is going to have to type
ipython.py
at a command line to start ipython. I'm happy supporting eggs, as long as
they follow the proper conventions of each platform. If they don't, this
should be reported as an egg bug, but we're not going to break a standard of
the *nix platform.
