Each 'path' entry can be one of the following:

  archive file (.tar.gz, .tar.bz2, or .zip) as generated by 'setup.py sdist'.

o a binary distribution:  in this case, 'path' should point to an existing
  archive file (.egg)

o a "develop" checkout:  in this case,  'path' should point to a directory
  initialized via 'setup.py develop' (under setuptools).

o an installed package:  in this case, 'path' should be the importable name
  of the package.
