I'm surprised that these are installing compressed; by default they 
shouldn't be.  The issue is that the 'doctest' module doesn't support 
loading tests from eggs, and I haven't gotten around to fixing it yet.  If 
you use the -Z or --always-unzip option to EasyInstall, it'll decompress 
the packages.
