[Distutils] egg_info needs to hit the net?

[Kevin Dangoor]

TurboGears quickstart now does an "egg_info" on the newly-created
project. Someone just reported that he got a "Connection Refused"
exception and was reasonably wondering why it needed to hit the net in
order to start a new project.

I've gathered that the cheeseshop was down today and this is why the
connection was refused, but I am interested to know why egg_info
requires net access.

Thanks,
Kevin
