setting PYTHON_EGG_CACHE doesn't do anything

When you say "latest versions of everything", what version of pysqlite
does that mean?  I tried getting trac working with pysqlite 2.1.3,
failed, and went back to 2.0.7.

Here's what I did.  I reasoned that the egg file is unpacked so that
some of its files are available as real files in the file system, and I
wasn't getting any bonus points for having the egg present in python's
site-packages directory as a file anyway.  So:

cd /path/to/python/site-packages
mv pysqlite-2.0.7-py2.4-linux-i686.egg foo.zip
mkdir pysqlite-2.0.7-py2.4-linux-i686.egg
cd pysqlite-2.0.7-py2.4-linux-i686.egg
unzip ../foo.zip
rm ../foo.zip

Now the egg file is unpacked, so the files are all present already in
the filesystem, nothing needs to be unpacked, PYTHON_EGG_CACHE is
irrelevant, and everybody is happy.

Perhaps that would work for you as well?
