Can i use python “build eggs” in different computer

Question

After so much of trouble i installed many python plugins which are now in the form of .egg extension.

Is it posisble to just copy those eggs across different computers or i have to repeat the whole process

IF NOT

whats the best to copy all installed modules in diff centos computer

Answer 1

Yes, you can distribute compiled .egg files, but you do need to check some compatibility. Eggs always require the same major Python version (e.g. 2.5 vs 2.6) as what they were compiled on. Additionally, if they contain C extensions and are not pure Python modules, the OS architecture (e.g. i386 vs x86_64) needs to match.
