The topic of Python eggs came up during the discussion of this bug:

  https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1178754 --  [abrt]
  python-gertty: script.py:46:__init__:CommandError: Path doesn't exist:
  '/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/gertty/alembic'. Please use the
  'init' command to create a new scripts folder.

After a bit of back and forth on #fedora-python, Toshio Kuratomi
suggested a clarification change.  Here's the clarification draft to
that effect (thanks Toshio for the review):

 - Proposed: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/User:Kashyapc/Python_Eggs
 - Original: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:Python_Eggs


FPC ticket: https://fedorahosted.org/fpc/ticket/488
