How to modify the source of a python file inside a python egg file?
I can see the file by unzipping it, but how can I package it back as a
python egg file after my modification.

Thank you.

So far I never tried this - but how about zipping it? Besides, you can
install eggs unzipped directly, try easy_install --help for options.

The correct way is to download the source, make your changes and rebuild the
egg.

Unzipping, changing and zipping it back also works.
