I know. Still, if you have it installed, you'd be annoyed if it wasn't
available if you wanted to use it. Just try

python setup.py bdist_egg

with the current version. That's all the patch enables. It doesn't do any harm
if you're not using eggs. Admittedly, the name of the directory where Pyrex is
installed in site-packages will now contain the Pyrex version number if you
have setuptools installed. Probably nothing the system admin would not love
you for...

Note also that Pyrex is never installed as a zipped egg as it's not considered
zip-safe.
