 Replying to [comment:18 rgommers]:
 > Works for me with -e. Haven't tested without -e; is there a better way
 to do that than pushing to my github account and letting pip install from
 there with some magic incantation?

 Yes, you can just run `pip install .` on your source checkout.  It will
 copy the source to a temp dir (I think), create an egg, and then install
 the egg.

 Your patch looks almost exactly like mine now.  They only difference is
 that it should only fix the -egg-base argument ''if'' its prior value is
 'pip-egg-info'.
