It is generated by setuptools in  fact. And a missing new line render it
unusable.

Well,   people   use   setuptools    and   it   does   not   work   with
python-support.  What should  we do?  Move  the egg  by hand  in a  more
correct location?  Or maybe python-support could  put it by  itself in a
correct location?
