Comment (by dstufft):

 Wheels are basically a standardized Egg with some of the more
 nebulous/dangerous features removed. They are a binary format like Egg is.
 Since 1.4 pip supports them with a flag to enable, since 1.5 hey are on by
 default. The script wrapper for something installed from a Wheel looks
 like

 {{{
 #!/Users/dstufft/.pyenv/versions/3.4.0rc3/bin/python3.4

 # -*- coding: utf-8 -*-
 import re
 import sys

 from pip import main

 if __name__ == '__main__':
     sys.argv[0] = re.sub(r'(-script\.pyw|\.exe)?$', '', sys.argv[0])
     sys.exit(main())
 }}}
