[] Python eggs must be built from source. They cannot simply drop an egg from upstream into the proper directory. [] Python eggs must not download any dependencies during the build process. [] If egg-info files are generated by the modules build scripts they must be included in the package. [] When building a compat package, it must install using easy_install -m so it won't conflict with the main package. [] When building multiple versions (for a compat package) one of the packages must contain a default version that is usable via "import MODULE" with no prior setup. () A package which is used by another package via an egg interface should provide egg info.
