python egg deployment option

[anonymous]

It would be nice if in addition to zip file there was also a python egg. This may significantly ease the deployment.

As best I know that would require me to build an egg and post it every time I make a new revision. Currently trac makes the zip for me. Also an egg is simply the following command executed in the root directory of the unzipped directory.

python setup.py bdist_egg

Also I would strongly suggest global installing trac plugins (as I have had issues in the past with locally installed ones blinking in and out of existence). I tend svn co the plugin so that I can easily upgrade to new versions (which is facilitated by the global install).

For all these reasons, the primary being that it is really easy for every one to make an egg, and hard for me to keep track of making them, I will mark this as invalid.

Cheers and thanks for the input, Russ
