I vaguely remember some sort of setuptools wrapper that would generate .egg files from distutils source. Can someone jog my memory?
setuptools monkey-patches some parts of distutils when it is imported. When you use easy_install to get a distutils-based project from PyPI, it will create an egg (pip may do that too). To do the same thing locally (i.e. in a directory that’s a code checkout or an unpacked tarball), use this trick: python -c "import setuptools; execfile('setup.py')" bdist_egg
.
Have you tried
python setup.py bdist_egg
Here I assume you are using setuptools instead of distutils i.e.
in setup.py instead of
from distutils.core import setup
use
from setuptools import setup
