>Description:
Most services and daemon when started have no privileges over local file system while packed egg file should be unpacked somewhere before use.

Anyway egg is a distribution format, while we are using packages with ports we don't need to stick to eggs.

Possible errors would be:

ExtractionError: Can't extract file(s) to egg cache

The following error occurred while trying to extract file(s) to the Python egg
cache:

  [Errno 13] Permission denied: '/.python-eggs'

The Python egg cache directory is currently set to:

  /.python-eggs

Perhaps your account does not have write access to this directory?  You can
change the cache directory by setting the PYTHON_EGG_CACHE environment
variable to point to an accessible directory.
