Python guidelines recommends that packagers installs python eggs using
distutils (python setup.py install as recommended in guidelines) while
pip use the same install method as easy_install (provided by
setuptools/distribute). The former one install egg metadata as a file,
the latter as a directory, that's not a packaging/rpm issue.
