I'm not sure of how .eggs are implemented, but I'm going to cross-post this
info to the python-distutils mailing list. See below for additional comments.

The is the opposite of what I was told by upstream development over on
distutils, snippet from Phillip J. Eby <pje@telecommunity.com>:

Note also that in many cases, the package will be a single .egg file,
(analagous to a Java .jar file) rather than a directory, and files are
preferable to directories in most cases as they make Python import
processing faster.
