Python: Why do some packages get installed as eggs and some as "egg folders"?
- by cool-RR
I maintain a few Python packages. I have a very similar setup.py file for each of them. However, when doing setup.py install, one of my packages gets installed as an egg, while the others get installed as "egg folders", i.e. folders with an extension of "egg".
I couldn't figure out what is the difference between them that causes this different behavior. What can it be?
