Description

I've configured my build to create the `tar.gz` using the `sdist` plugin.

Is there any easy way to also create an `.egg` artifact as well?

Looking at the source it seems like the arguments passed are hard coded so I'm going to assume no but I figured I should ask.

Research direction

Start by reading pygradle-plugin/src/main/groovy/com/linkedin/gradle/python/tasks/SourceDistTask.java around line 42 and trace how the sdist plugin configures its output. Check the surrounding plugin configuration to determine whether an egg artifact can be produced alongside the tar.gz; done means the supported configuration or limitation is established.
