>          Components: python
>    Affects Versions: 1.8.2
>            Reporter: Luke Zulauf

> When managing dependencies, the ability to call egg_info on any package is especially useful (even if the package is not valid for installation with a specific python version).
> For example, pipenv can't build a lockfile in python2 if avro-python3 is listed as a dependency (for any python version)
>  
> The opposite works (using python3 to check the egg_info of avro (the python2 version).
>  
> {code:java}
> $ python3 avro/setup.py egg_info
> (succeeds)
> $ python2 avro/setup.py egg_info
> (succeeds)
> $ python3 avro-python3/setup.py egg_info
> (succeeds)
> $ python2 avro-python3/setup.py egg_info
> (fails){code}
> It would be great if you didn't raise an assertion error for all usages of running setup.py, especially when running egg_info.
