[issue7227] Shell Support for installation of Python Packages (.EGG)

New submission from David Lyon <david.lyon[at]preisshare.net>:

Under Windows, it would be very handy to have shell support for
installing .EGG packages.

To implement this would require the addition of some registry keys into
the cpython installation to associate the .EGG extension as being a
python package.

Then a new script would be assigned to process the .EGG file if called
from explorer.

This would provide the user with the ability to easily install packages
from web sites such as pypi.

Tarek Ziadé <ziade.tarek[at]gmail.com> added the comment:

The .egg format and easy_install are not part of by Distutils.

You can try to propose your .egg shell support to Pip, Distribute 0.6.x
or Setuptools 0.6x projects.

----------
resolution: -> rejected
