Python .egg support in Debian



-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1

Starting a separate thread from the "formencode as .egg in Debian ??"
discussion since this issue is internal to Debian and I don't want DD's to
"beat-up" upstream development anymore. :-)

Good or bad python .egg's are here to stay. Following the "formencode
as .egg in Debian ??" thread I understand the following.

IF Debian decides -not- to support .egg's a few python code bases (modules,
applications, etc) will break. 

Looking into the future more python code bases will move to .egg so the
number of broken code bases will only increase.

I want to state what I think is the obvious, Debian must support .egg's.

NOTE: The implementation of how .egg's are supported can be left to another
thread.

Is there an agreement amongst the interested debian-python
developers/packagers that Debian must support .egg's?

Answering the -IF- will let us move forward to the HOW.
