To install a trac plugin you download a tarball and do something like
    python setup.py bdist_egg
to create the .egg file, which you can then put in the appropriate
place. I think in general you can also do
    python setup.py install
to have it installed as a python library.

I know virtually nothing about eggs, and even less about gems, but I am
under the impression that they aim to solve the same problem as Cabal.
