How to install a local .egg?

[Massimo-B]

Doing as a user

python2.7 setup.py install

fails of course with

error: could not create '/usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/tracsql': Permission denied

Doing

python2.7 setup.py bdist_egg

as I do with almost every other plugin it fails with

/usr/lib64/python2.7/distutils/dist.py:267: UserWarning: Unknown distribution option: 'entry_points'

Why is the installation so different?
How do I create a local .egg of this plugin?

You probably need to run as sudo

This works, thanks.

Now I have at least tracsql and WikiTableMacro working for plain SQL commands.
Btw. are all those SQL plugins safe from CREATE, UPDATE and DELETE or do they provide full access to the database? It would be useful for any of those plugins, to grant read-only access only or read-write by configuration option.
On the other hand I could also create a read-only user account for this purpose.

Both plugins use a read-only transaction manager (db_query rather than db_transaction), so CREATE, UPDATE and DELETE are not allowed.
