How does Python import modules from .egg files?
Question: How can I open `__init__.pyc` here?

    
    
        >>> import stompservice
        <module 'stompservice' from 'C:\Python25\lib\site-packages\stompservice-0.1.0-py2.5.egg\stompservice\__init__.pyc'>
    

All I see in `C:\Python25\lib\site-packages\` is the .egg file, but where are
the internal files of the package?

.egg files are simply renamed zip files.

Open the egg with your zip program, or just rename the extension to .zip, and
extract.
