I have python .egg files that are stored in a relative location to some .py code. The problem is, I am targeting python 2.5.1 computers which require my project be self contained in a folder (hundreds of thousands of OLPC XO 8.2.1 release laptops running Sugar). This means I cannot just ./ez_install to perform a system-wide setuptools/pkg_resources installation.
Example directory structure:
My Application/
My Application/library1.egg
My Application/libs/library2.egg
My Application/test.py
I am wondering how best to import and use library1 and library2 from within test.py with no pkg_resources system-wide installation. Is my best option simply to unzip the .egg files?
Thanks for any tips.
