Python modules are often distributed as files with the extension
".egg". These are just ZIP files with a convention about the layout of
the contents, as described in [1].
It would be nice if Emacs could open these files in archive-mode by
default, either by adding an entry for the file extension ".egg" to
auto-mode-alist, or by adding a suitable pattern for ZIP files to
magic-fallback-mode-alist.
(Perhaps this suggestion will become moot when libmagic is integrated
into Emacs.)

Emacs should support this regardless of the libmagic presence.
Could you please try to open an .egg file in the latest CVS.

Unfortunately the latest CVS does not build for me:
$ ./configure --with-ns && make
...
Compiling /Users/gdr/emacs-cvs/emacs/lisp/url/url-dav.el
In toplevel form:
url/url-dav.el:36:1:Error: Cannot open doc string file "/Applications/
Emacs.app/Contents/Resources/etc/DOC-23.1.50.1"
make[1]: *** [/Users/gdr/emacs-cvs/emacs/lisp/url/url-dav.elc] Error 1
make: *** [lisp] Error 2
(I don't know why it's looking in /Applications/Emacs.app for the doc
string file instead of in the local build tree where it exists.)

Python modules are often distributed as files with the extension
".egg". These are just ZIP files with a convention about the layout of
the contents, as described in [1].
It would be nice if Emacs could open these files in archive-mode by
default, either by adding an entry for the file extension ".egg" to
auto-mode-alist, or by adding a suitable pattern for ZIP files to
magic-fallback-mode-alist.
(Perhaps this suggestion will become moot when libmagic is integrated

I downloaded a random .egg file and it opened fine for me in the CVS
trunk (not in 23.1).
