    Yes.  "Eggs" are connected to an "easy install" system which has
an annoying tendency to either fail or silently do the wrong thing.
They were an attempt to apply the "packaging" mania of Java to Python.
Fortunately, ".egg" files are actually ".zip" files, so you can
rename them, unpack them, and get at the good parts.
