[pygtk] Making a python egg out of pygtk

Hi all,

I tried some time ago to create an exe file on windows to distribute  
a pygtk-based program, but it failed for some reason (found the word  
encoding in the error message).
I'm reading http://peak.telecommunity.com/DevCenter/PythonEggs and I  
came across the pypi website some time ago, and I am wondering how  
hard it would be to create eggs for pygtk (and maybe one for pycairo  
and pygobject).

I know that there's an egg for PIL which is a mixed C / python code  
project, so maybe there's a way for pygtk ...

I'm pretty new to all this, I don't know if it would make creating  
installers easier (shell or command script that lauch easy_install  
which is fetching and installing the eggs to site-packages) but it  
seems interesting anyway.

Thanks,
Benjamin.
