According to http://peak.telecommunity.com/DevCenter/PythonEggs, with python eggs you do things like from pkg_resources import require require("FooBar>=1.2")
From what I can tell, python eggs aren't a build system either, but rather a binary package format.
To install a trac plugin you download a tarball and do something like python setup.py bdist_egg to create the .egg file, which you can then put in the appropriate place. I think in general you can also do python setup.py install to have it installed as a python library. I know virtually nothing about eggs, and even less about gems, but I am under the impression that they aim to solve the same problem as Cabal. Thanks Ian
