install all eggs included into manifest

Otherwise libraries required for a project are just ignored

Petrel has a similar feature already. If your manifest.text includes a file "setup.sh", Petrel will automatically execute it before launching the spout or bolt. Typically this script is used for installing eggs. By letting you write the script yourself, Petrel gives you more control, for example whether to use pip or easy_install, what options they are called with, etc.

Here's an example setup.sh file from one of my projects:

set -e

# $1 will be non-zero if creating a new virtualenv.
if [ $1 -ne 0 ]; then
    for f in Shapely==1.2.15 pyproj==1.9.0 pycassa==1.7.0 \
             configobj==4.7.2 greenlet==0.4.0 gevent==1.0b3
    do
        echo "Installing $f"
        pip install $f
    done
fi

You could easily modify this code to look for "*.egg" and install them all (although you might have to be careful with installation order dependencies).

I will add this information to the README.

Sorry, I shouldn't have closed this without hearing from you first. Does the setup.sh feature meet your needs?

Yes, this will do, thanks!
